What advice would you give to your younger self when starting a business?

Question

Umar Saleem · Accepted Answer

I would advise my younger self always to take risks. Your risk-taking will determine the success of your business.

Taylah Drury · Answer

It's not a matter of IF you will start your own business, but WHEN you should start. Take your time and then stress out every little detail. Start small and work your way up. Believe that you can do it!

Mansur Inanc · Answer

You'll have hard days, but they're worth it. You'll learn things about yourself and how to face challenges.

I would encourage my younger self to focus on how I will use your skills, knowledge and resources. I would encourage everyone, regardless of age, to think about everything they can learn by starting a business instead of staying in their current roles with companies.

@umar_saleem Yeah, having a business is risky, but I like the challenges all the way coming! 🙏🏻😁

@taylah_drury Self-confidence is important. I've noticed that when I doubt myself, I start making more mistakes, and my business doesn't thrive either. On the other hand, when I am more attuned to success, I take actions that are beneficial to my business.

@tibor_szantai2 Nice explanation! Thanks, Tibor. It sounds like a cliche, but the journey is the destination. If you are working on some product, you work on yourself. It can shift your personality further. During running the business, I have earned a lot of experience, and I am grateful for that!

@mary_mayo Yeah, to have a mentor is a little win! ☝️😃

Martin Moravek · Answer

@mansur_inanc Definitely! Sometimes you doubt yourself, but that is the chance to prove that you are good enough!
