Principles that work

The principle of delayed gratification.
We live in an instant world where everyone wants it NOW.
Unfortunately there is no such thing as instant riches unless you win the lottery.
Most successful entrepeneurs are such because they are willing to persist, work and apply the principle of delayed gratification- that is putting the luxuries on hold while they build the business.
So keep the dream alive, and work towards it by being willing to wait it out awhile.
A good tip before making a purchase is to ask yourself- "Will this purchase make money for my business?"
A good practice is to purchase items as you need them, rather than buying that which you may never use, then as you grow you can add to your aquisitions.
