#1 Mission: James Bond saves the world! What is your startup-mission and does it make meaning? The more meaning, the more likely you earn money. It’s that simple.

#2 Team: James Bond makes all decisions by himself, but with a great team in the background. What do you want to have as an entrepreneur is a great team, that speaks with one tongue. The CEO deceides and the team follows as seen in the bond movies.

#3 Business Model: James Bond has a clear business model, he saves the world and get well paid by MI-6! Is your business model that simple as well? Who pays you, for what and in what timeframe?

#4 Never Give Up: Even if it seems hopeless, James Bond never give up. And at the end of the day this attitude saves several times the world. In the startup-life you go through good and bad times. But you should never, never, never give up. This differentiate the winner from the “second winner”.
