9-to-5 to entrepreneur

[ProblemSolving]

My reason to join here might be ridiculous. Regardless...

I'm an intern for a big name company. It's my first week, I'm excited about it, I have no complaint, they pay me well, and I probably will land the job.
But.
A few years from now.
If the company fires me, I'll be left stranded.
Or if the company makes me work more with the same pay (like in the book), I can't refuse. Because otherwise they'll fire me.
It will be a bad position to be in.

So I want a stronger position. Like if I have 100 customers, and one of them leave me, I can still replace him.
Anyway I tried Upwork for a week, no customer. That's when I know my college degree is no jack shit in the real world.

I'm a beginner in entrepreneurship. So any advice is welcome.

Fail fast because you will. Pain is coming. Just get it over with. It's proven to work. Something will click. The rock will crack. It's proven. Everything were working towards comes to a point where you're gonna have to decide to push through or back down.

Just remember to get it over with.

Search for the 'hustle' threads. Buy something. Sell it for more. Repeat.
The experience will help you greatly in making connections and finding needs.
Sales experience and some capital to boot.

One of the fastest ways to make money on the side is to trade your time (and skills) for dollars. Just start by helping people and see where it takes you.
