Starting a company too rigidly can limit your ability to adapt and pivot, which is often necessary as your business evolves.

It's important to enjoy the process of developing ideas and working on side projects, as this can indicate readiness to start a company.

The most important lesson I've learned is that it's really hard to decide to start a company before you understand what you want to do.

There is a critical exploration phase for a company that is often ignored; it's important to allow time for ideas to develop before committing to a specific direction. Don't make a fixed plan; instead, plan to plan, allowing for adjustments every three months based on new insights and variables.

Flexibility in tactics is essential for success, while maintaining a steadfast vision is equally important to navigate the unpredictable nature of entrepreneurship.

It's important for founders to resist the urge to have a complete plan or exit strategy from the start, as many successful companies evolve beyond initial expectations.

It's essential to assemble networks and adapt to constantly changing challenges when founding a company.

If you have an idea, just go start your own company. It's challenging but also the most enjoyable experience you can have.

I advise young entrepreneurs to work on something they care about without committing to turning it into a company until it shows promise, as many successful companies were built this way.
