Ade Hassan’s Top Three Entrepreneurial Hacks For Budding Bawse Chicks:
(1) Stand on a very solid idea. “It’s really important to research your idea to make sure that whatever it is, it’s valid. Make sure you really believe in the idea especially if you’re working in another job. If you’re up at 4:00 a.m. or 2:00 a.m. working on this, then you want to believe in it.”
(2) Be willing to work really, really hard. “Everybody who is going to start something anticipates that it’s going to be difficult, and that it’s going to be hard, but it will be so much more difficult and so much harder than you can prepare yourself for.”
(3) Have faith in yourself and surround yourself with positive people. “Because if you don’t believe in yourself, then who will?”
