TL; DR:
1. Have a proven concept before looking for investors
2. Convince someone to invest in your startup, even if it's close family.
3. Have an athletes attitude to business.
4. Start ups always require a lot of investment in time in money, usually in work. So if you're not willing to take that risk, your probably not fit to be an entrepreneur and let's accept that before we just bur ourselves into the wall.
5. If we put ourselves around the right WHO's then we will probably have a much higher chance of success.
