They should set very high standards for themselves because it is a competitive edge. They should hold themselves accountable.

Jason Grill, the founder of JGrill Media, advised the entrepreneurs “When you come to a roadblock, don’t give up. Find a way around it, or a way to better communicate your thoughts to make things work."
