A lot of posts here in this sub deal with burnout, anxiety, frustration. Starting and building something, as is commonly known, can be overwhelmingly frustrating at times.Living by a set of principles can help mitigate the frustrations and anxieties that will (not if) come from time to time.What are yours? It would be interesting to compile a community-derived list for entrepreneurs...I came across a random youtube video reciting 24 principles the old Norse Vikings would recite. Some have clear applications to entrepreneurship (These are from old Norse Poems to give some context):Be A Person Of Worldly Intelligence If You Desire To Sit With Kings. The Man Who Only Carries The Limited Scope Of His Village Will Be A Laughing Stock.Travel Far And Wide And You Shall Posses The Secrets Of Man.When Fear Leads The Way The Destination Is Never Glorious.As One Candle Can Light Another, So Too Can Greatness Of Mind Be Transferred Amongst Men.

You Never Know Who Could Be Lending An Ear To Your Ramblings.If You Desire To Claim A Place In The World, Arise Early.

Always Be Prepared To Brave A Storm.Defeat Your Enemies In The Fields Before They Reach Your House.No Matter How Cautiously You Live There Is No Escaping The Fatal Clutches Of Old Age.
