In this guest article on the Sun Microsystems web site, Guy Kawasaki lists the five most important lessons he’s learned as an entrepreneur — which makes for great advice for entrepreneurs:

1. Focus on Cash Flow
2. Make Little Progress Every Day
3. Try Stuff
4. Ignore Schmexperts
5. Never Ask Anyone To Do Something That You Wouldn’t Do

Sound advice from someone who knows. I’ll add one more thing that I think is the most important lesson of all:

6. Do What You Love

When you love what you are doing, you will pour your heart into in and it will show. And, whether or not your startup is a big success, you will have done something you enjoyed and will have no regrets for having started it.
