In Conclusion

Starting this journey for entrepreneurs will take some time.  Pick one or a few options to start brainstorming. Think to yourself what I can possibly do with what I currently know.

For the ventures you’re interested in and have less experience with, try to touch different bases of what the role would need of you to get an idea of it, then go try it out.

The point I’m emphasizing is experimenting and trying different ideas out asap. You don’t have to go fast but go as fast as you can, so you can save time and get through the trenches of learning.

The opportunity is here and we just have to go try out what might work and not work for us.
