Commit to Plan a Strategy, Set "Time Frame" Goals and Risk
The strategy is best planned with the participation of everyone who will be involved in the project. Write down the steps necessary to be successful and identify who will be responsible for each part.
Determine a completion date for every component of the project. Remember that some dates established at the beginning of the project will be unattainable and will need to be adjusted.
A strategy not only requires deadlines but also interim dates for progress checks. Establish predetermined interim points along the way to evaluate progress. Be ready to make changes. Always be focused as well as flexible as you will inevitably face obstacles and delays.

Also, be a reasonable risk taker because taking no risk is the greatest risk of all. Here Mark Zuckerberg has some good advice; "The biggest risk is not taking any risk... In a world that changing really quickly, the only strategy that is guaranteed to fail is not taking risks."
