You have to be an optimist to be an entrepreneur.

But you must also listen to the little paranoid voice in the back of your head.

Most times, everything works out well in the end.

But sometimes you get hit by disaster.

Lockdown closes your restaurant.

If you do not have some savings hidden away, you cannot weather the storm and boom: You are out of business.

Just because everything is going well does not mean there is no trouble ahead.

Prepare.

Dig your well before you are thirsty.

It was not raining when Noah built the Ark.

Build.
