Don't:1 - ...stray from your plan by chasing what I refer to as "shiny objects of distraction"...no matter how good that deal might look.   2 - ...rationalize a bad deal into a good one, or you'll get out of the game faster than you got in.3 - ...listen to those that want to tell you that if you lose money in the beginning it's OK since you are learning.
