Noob seeking harsh truth

[Florian]

Hey guys,
Thank you for spending your time and attention to read this.

Question: Is it a good idea to get some experience before you create your "real" CENTS business? (By creating a digital marketing agency, offering fb ads.)

I know MJ talks about the "you never know what expects you, so don't spend years training and just do it and improve in the process". Yet I know about Emanuel Fredenrich doing something similar (Learning copywriting, getting really good and finally taking that money and experience to fund his own "real" business.) and becoming a millionaire at age 19.

For me, it yields the benefits of having some funding (profits of the business) and experience in sales, lead gen, hiring and firing, and daily business of operating an agency.

I've been in the digital agency nice for about 9 months, working in an email marketing startup. Yet do I need to create a dummy business first, before creating a "real" business?

Please give me your harsh and honest feedback. I don't want to feel good, I want to figure out the truth before I pour 3/4 of 2019 into that.

Best,
Florian
