Make sure your team members are as dedicated to a project as you are.
Verify ALL funds available for project, including hiccup funds.
Worked with a professional, or mentor, you must remember your a rookie not an expert just yet. When things go wrong you must know who to ask.
Trust yourself, google is not a genius lol
