At 18, I had no idea that I wanted to do business.
I knew I liked a certain kind of autonomy, but I didn't know what to call it.
If I had to say some words to myself, they would be these:
– Do more of what you like.
– Stop worrying about what others will think.
If I applied these two things, I would definitely be more "entrepreneurial".
What would you say to yourself?

nothing you do now matters. but its very important that you do it
@busmark_w_nika exactly. that's the point of the saying. It feels like it doesn't matter at the time. But it will make sense later. With this mindset selling sunglass on the beach or lemonade outside your house has a meaning. It's an oxymoron. 😸
Fail fast, learn faster.
The key is not to avoid failure but to bounce back from it.
Every mistake teaches you something valuable.
@busmark_w_nika Yeah, the harder part is not knowing how deep our thinking needs to be. A lot of times, we try to think a bit deeper, but only when we fail do we realize just how shallow we were being.
I’d tell my younger self: learn to code.
Don't give up an asset.

Take more risks; build something relevant for the people.

I would say:
“Learn to code and start building stuff for you and your friends.”

Just do it, don't be afraid to fail
If I could tell my 18-year-old self anything, it would be: 'Don't be afraid to take risks, especially when you're young. The lessons from failures are often more valuable than playing it safe.'
Tell my 18-year-old self: Start before you're ready.
The biggest mistake? Waiting for the ‘perfect’ moment.
Spoiler: It never comes.
100% believe in yourself. At 18 your biggest asset is enthusiasm and ability to learn quickly. Don't compare yourself to others who have years of experience. Focus on getting small wins, building skills, and gaining confidence. Success compounds over time. Stay positive and keep at it!
What a great question! Now that I’m 45, I can confidently say I have no regrets about the choices I made in my youth. Everything I have today is a result of those decisions. My most important piece of advice to my 18-year-old self would be: don’t be afraid!
Don’t listen to those who say, “That’s not for you” or “You won’t succeed.” Trust your inner voice, and pursue what truly resonates with you. If you follow your passion and intuition, your life will align with the right path and lead you to success.
