Entrepreneurship has always been my calling, beckoning me to take risks and see my ideas through to fruition. But the truth is, the path to becoming a successful entrepreneur is far more treacherous than I had ever anticipated.

Regrettably, I spent years and countless dollars attempting to navigate this minefield on my own, often with little success.

What I have learned, above all, is that investing in oneself and their business acumen is never a waste of resources. Yet, many fall prey to a reluctance to seek knowledge, an apprehension that could either be a fleeting roadblock or a sign that entrepreneurship may not be their true calling.

My own entrepreneurial journey began at the age of ten when I launched my first business venture: selling aluminum scrap.

You might be curious as to how a ten-year-old could pull that off – and I promise to regale you with that tale another time.
