Hello everyone, I'm Henry, and I'm from the UK. I turn 18 next month, and am off to university in September(as my parents have agreed to pay off my tuition fees, I also want to build networks, and identify opportunities there). I began my Entrepreneurial journey over a year ago, and began to read MJ's books, and other useful ones such as Dotcom Secrets, by Russel Brunson. At the start of this year I launched my first business. It was a self improvement website, in which people paid a monthly membership fee for. That business failed as it was more of a learning experience for myself as an entrepreneur, rather than anything completely long term. Since then I have gone away, expanded my knowledge, mastered all of MJ's teachings, and I feel that I am now ready to start my own digital marketing agency, to provide value to all the wantrepuneurs who violate the commandment of control. To reiterate, I am well aware of the importance of the commandment of need, and I identify an opportunity with a digital marketing agency due to the vast increase in wantrepuenurs online bc of people like Iman Gadzhi, Alex Hormozi etc. As a result, the last few weeks, I have been working at least 3 hours a day learning to code.

However, I'm now down to £1000, and my parents are now telling me I need to get a job over the summer, so I can "have control over what I spend money on." Despite the fact the amount I would make in the next 3 months in a job, wouldn't be enough to cover the year, my parents still say I should do it and that they will pay me when the money runs out. The thought of my parents just giving me money is absolutely shameful, and I feel that if I can have some success with my marketing agency, I can making a living for myself at university, and focus on the grind there in my spare time. Whereas if I just get a job, I'm just delaying the inevitable fact that I am currently broke, and I would still end up in the same situation of needing money from my parents. So do you think that I should put multiple hours a day into my agency, or should I just "play it safe" and get a job for now. BTW I'm not basing my decision off random people on the internet(with all due respect). However, it would be helpful to receive different opinions about it, so I can take different solutions into account.

BTW. I was not aware that I needed money until the other day. As my family didn't know that I would not be given a student loan.
