Research, Role Models, and Action
Do your research. Reach out to people you look up to and ask questions, relentlessly. And Just Do it. There will never be a "right time" and you will never be fully prepared. But your research should enable you to deal with uncertainties, your role models should keep you motivated to also achieve beyond what you thought was possible and your passion should keep you grounded as you learn on the job!

Inquire and Trust the Process
Ask questions, take time to talk about the same subject with 2 or 3 people before taking a decision and give your trust. You are not picky for asking why, how, if there is another option, etc. Don't settle for less than you want in the process of builfing your company.

Focus on MVP and Impact
In the dynamic realm of entrepreneurship, it is advisable for aspiring business leaders to focus on creating a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) or attaining Product-Market Fit (PMF) with minimal financial investment before contemplating capital raising or assembling a leadership team. This strategic foundation not only ensures resource efficiency but also hones the core value proposition of the venture. Moreover, beyond the bottom line, it is imperative for young entrepreneurs to conscientiously evaluate the societal and environmental impact of their startups. Considering how the business positively influences people and the planet not only aligns with contemporary ethical standards but also positions the venture for sustainable success in an increasingly socially conscious marketplace. By marrying financial prudence with a commitment to positive impact, young entrepreneurs can forge a path that is not only economically viable but also socially and environmentally responsible, fostering a more holistic and enduring approach to business development.
