What was one of the most valuable pieces of advice you received when you began your own business?

One of my mentors once said to me: "Alex, leave your job. Now. Start your business. Even if things don't pan out perfectly, you can always return. When you reflect on your life, believe me, you won't regret giving it a shot, at the very least."

For me, the most valuable piece of advice I've received is...create what other people need, not what you want.
