"Work on something you care deeply about. The bumps are easier if succeeding will benefit others. An extraordinary entrepreneur friend of mine, Priv Bradoo, shared some great advice she got from a male mentor. He said that to succeed, you need a big ego. If you donât have a big ego, you need a strong sense of purpose to compensate."
