Salman Haqqi, personal finance expert at money.co.uk, offered guidance for budding entrepreneurs:
1. Make passion a priority
Sustained long-term success is easier to achieve when you are passionate about what you do and this rings true especially for entrepreneurship. You want to sell a product and/or service that you have a genuine interest in as well as a desire to understand how it can be continually improved to adapt to business changes/challenges. 
2. Seek quality mentorship 
As with starting anything new, why not make your life easier by reaching out to credible entrepreneurs for potential mentorship opportunities. With the presence of social media, this is now easier to do than ever before. Their valuable advice could shed some light on techniques, planning and awareness of relevant laws and regulations.
3. Find balance 
Starting a business is undoubtedly a very stressful process because everything is on you. With this in mind, you could find yourself neglecting your physical and mental health. To avoid this, set time in your schedule each day to address these two important aspects of health. For instance, scheduling a daily half an hour walk at lunch and 15 minutes of peaceful meditation before bed.
