4. A level of street smarts that you acquire by being involved in everyday rudimentary tasks of entrepreneurship and business practices - business as an art or science is boring and you have to be able to maintain the repetitive tasks and discipline required to get you going - for example, you want to raise capital - you should be disciplined to call or talk to a number of people per day.
5. The ability to know the difference between income and wealth -It is possible to have a higher income and not be wealthy - Always remember that building wealth does not require a large income, however, it requires a mindset that is disciplined and a long term perspective.
