Hey everyone,

Just wanted to share a bit of my journey with entrepreneurship. At 18, I took a leap into my first business, and it didn’t go as planned. Yes, I faced failure, and it came with a financial setback, but I wouldn’t trade the experience for anything.

The lessons I learned from this failure have been invaluable. It’s easy to focus on the losses, but what’s more important is what I gained in terms of knowledge and resilience. I’m using this setback as a stepping stone for my next venture, applying the insights I’ve gained to ensure a more successful outcome.

I’m a bit of a roadblock now, as I don’t know if I should go back to college and get a bachelors degree or pursue other options(I have an associates degree). I really need to find a good mentor but I’m very introverted so that is difficult for me.

Remember, failure is not the end—it’s a part of the journey. I’m excited for the next chapter and the opportunity to turn these lessons into success.

Also, if you a someone who wants to start a business but is worried about failing, just start. You will regret not starting but you will doing nothing. Be smart about it, do your research, and don’t take an excessive about of risk to do so.
