Create an Enemy

I'm currently starting a business. At times it's tough to find the motivation to work nights, weekends, midnights, etc. for no pay to create something nobody thinks will be successful (except for you, of course).

One thing that really helps me, however, is to have an enemy. It sparks the sharp, aggressive mindset needed to destroy your opposition - and to start companies.

So create an enemy. Then do all you can to kill him. :)
