When I was 19, I took all my savings (~$1000) and bootstrapped a business. It bankrupted in 6 months, but I don't regret any of it. Going for it was the best decision for my future work-life.This is what I learned:1/ Building things is valuable even if you failAs a result of running this business into a wall, I got a dream job in a startup. The founders didn't care I failed. They understood what it took to try.Learning by doing is priceless.2/ If you build something, people won't find it on their ownI learned why marketing matters the hard way. I made a website, stock up on my product, and waited. Surprise surprise – the only customers were two friends and my mom.You need to talk about your product.3/ Strangers are willing to help youI picked a business area I knew nothing about. (I know, right?) So I found an expert who did know, asked her for help, and she did. Just like that.People are nice.Here's the whole story if you're interested in details.I wonder, what's your first business experience? And what did you learn from it? see hubwealthy.com/wealthy
