Procrastination is a thief of time. It has made many people lose opportunities that would have made them move forward financially. To avoid procrastination, if you have any idea, don't wait for the ideal time to begin; start with what you have. Perfection is good but starting with what you have before moving towards perfection is important.

Hang out with people who have a positive mentality. Don't befriend people who believe that success is a product of luck. The Technology/IT/AI sector seems to have plenty of opportunities to be prosperous. It will not be a bad idea to hang out with people who know current and even future trends in the sector.

There is no safe business in this world. Every successful businessman took risks, and they also failed many times. It is more risky not to take risks. It is usually said that the bigger the risk the higher the profit. It is better to try and fail than not to try at all. Failure gives you more experience and helps you not to make the same mistakes.

Let me add diligence, teamwork, persistence, and teachability. To be successful, you need to take your work seriously and work hard. Learn to connect and communicate with business partners and clients. You should build a good personal relationship with people. Even if you fail many times, keep on trying if you are convinced that you are on the right track. Be always willing to learn. Be open to new ideas and don't be too rigid.
