1-Error is always your fault when things go wrong
While launching your own company, you will actually be ship's captain and assume full responsibility for the course of events.Blaming others is due to lack of your experience and you will lose everything closer than you expect.
Responsibility also is to recognize that you are responsible for the error and working to correct it immediately, do not blame anyone, but yourself.
2-You need to connect with others
Some of the founders of the Internet companies are choosing this field of work to escape from communicating with strangers. The problem is that if you hid from your customers. They will get rid you - simply. The same thing happen with those who work with you, if you do not deal with them you will lose their respect for you.Lift your head out of its shell and face all the people and talk to them and discuss with them.
3 - You have to make your staff feel good about their job
James found himself obliged to make its clients are satisfied with the work with them, and that their lives will be easier thanks to the presence of James and his services.He was forced also to use a reward system with the people around, customers and employees, he was to make all the people around him feel good, the first step is to improve itself and the way he deals with others.
4-Every idea is appropriate
As a result of a lack of his company to make money in the beginning, James was forced to do more than activity. Although his company was specialized in designing websites, but it had to be an advertising, magazines, songs, applications, and software design agency and many others.The need to bring money was essential. Therefore, the company accepted the things outside the scope of work for this purpose.

Day to stop learning, is the day on which exhibits the wrong way and cannot find signs guide you to the direction you want.
