What would you tell your 18-year-old self when it comes to business?
At 18, I had no idea that I wanted to do business.
I knew I liked a certain kind of autonomy, but I didn't know what to call it.
If I had to say some words to myself, they would be these:
– Do more of what you like.
– Stop worrying about what others will think.
If I applied these two things, I would definitely be more "entrepreneurial".
What would you say to yourself?

@busmark_w_nika I honestly wish I did too.
Oh wait, I might have had one such poster but don’t think the words meant much to me back then. Now I truly know what they mean
@busmark_w_nika Yeah, the harder part is not knowing how deep our thinking needs to be. A lot of times, we try to think a bit deeper, but only when we fail do we realize just how shallow we were being.
@busmark_w_nika exactly. that's the point of the saying. It feels like it doesn't matter at the time. But it will make sense later. With this mindset selling sunglass on the beach or lemonade outside your house has a meaning. It's an oxymoron. 😸
Fail fast, learn faster.
The key is not to avoid failure but to bounce back from it.
Every mistake teaches you something valuable.
I would say:
“Learn to code and start building stuff for you and your friends.”
Thanks for sharing your journey and wisdom! It's inspiring to hear how you've navigated towards entrepreneurship by focusing on what you love and letting go of others' opinions.

Tell my 18-year-old self: Start before you're ready.
The biggest mistake? Waiting for the ‘perfect’ moment.
Spoiler: It never comes.
