Like ben we should be willing to change with changing times and should be willing to come out of our comfort zone to explore the wonder of new age world. • Experience always counts: - The average age of CEOs is going down.

Healthy habits are very important to the success of an entrepreneur. • Role reversal can be great: - The female protagonist, Anne Hathaway aka Jules is the owner of the booming online fashion store.
