Hey guys!

I had a question that I thought some of you might be able to help with.

I see a ton of successful entrepreneurs that started out working for a startup/ finding a mentor before they began their entrepreneurial journey.

I'm 20 right now, so I'm just starting out, but I don't know whether or not I should act on some of my ideas I have right now or find someone to work for first, develop my skills, and then launch them later on with a stronger network and a better idea of how to run a business.

Thanks in advance.
