Chanana's Tips for Budding Entrepreneurs
His philosophy, "Every day is the first day of
your life," is the only advice he can provide.
Therefore, whatever obstacles life hands you,
accept them in stride and keep going forward
since every day brings you a new chance just
waiting to be discovered. So make the most of the
day! On a more sobering note, "Always have a Plan
B." This indicates that you are willing to treat
the market and the environment with the respect
they merit, not that you have lost trust in your
plan A.
