This is a thread I’m making for myself to increase my accountability regarding my entrepreneurial endeavours.

I’ll be graduating soon after a long final year of education - all I’ve wanted to do is get started with buz pursuits but decided it was smarter to finish my studies.

I’ll likely not update this frequently as my focus will be elsewhere, but will try doing so intermittently.

E-commerce and product development is where I currently aim to start. I’m covering my existing notes first to refresh myself and my mindset, and then will be taking action.
