Be patient. Everything good takes time.
Ask for help. It’s the best way to have success as you are learning.
Help others. It pays back those who helped you and you get credit for it too.
Choose your battles wisely.
Protect what is most important.
You can’t do everything at once. Decide what you need most and focus on that.
Every member of your team has different strengths.
Just because something is available doesn’t mean you need to use it.
There comes a point when it’s best to rearrange everything to meet your goals.
Don’t worry about things to come. You’ll learn things as you need them.
Resources can be used to acquire new items or develop current ones. Stay balanced.
Keeping things tidy brings a reward.
You need a team with similar goals to advance as far as you can go.
