After working for an entrepreneur, the next step is to engage in side hustles, like short-term projects, to test your strengths and ideas.

If you're considering business school to become an entrepreneur, gaining experience at an early-stage startup in a tech hub may provide more valuable connections and skills than an MBA program.

Working at a startup is a good gateway to starting your own startup, as it puts you around people who share your entrepreneurial goals.

Your entrepreneurial journey starts earlier than you think; for me, it began in my first week of university when I was introduced to the world of startups.

The first step for a startup is to have an infectious idea and often requires finding a co-founder to share the journey.

Many students express a desire to become entrepreneurs, but they often lack the real-world experience necessary to identify and solve significant problems.

Aspiring founders often mistakenly believe that the first step to starting a company is to create a pitch for investors, but the first step should be identifying who you want to work with and what you want to build.

If you don't know any technical co-founders, consider working at a startup first to build connections and gain experience before launching your own company.

Agency in entrepreneurship allows individuals to express their ideas and have a meaningful impact on the world, which is essential in today's economy. I've had seven startups that went from $0 to a million in their first 12 months and three that have gone over $10 million. I've also run an entrepreneur accelerator for 5,500 companies, so I spend a lot of time thinking about entrepreneurship.
