When I was young, going to college was the only way for a woman to get ahead. Now I would sure look a lot harder at other choices.At 18: Skip university and start a simple service business. Window cleaning, something construction, solar etc. You will learn a lot. You will learn how to handle customers, employees, finances, leadership. Essentially this will make you ready for the big work.
At 25: Only start a business that you can scale not grow. If you are putting in 80hr weeks anyway, then make sure that you can scale the business assymetrically.
I guess i’m a little behind on following my own advice. I’ll turn 27 next month and currently running a service business… trial and error my friends.
