Advice for Starting a Business
When starting a business, it is important to choose something that you are passionate about and think could be a good fit for you. The goal is to figure out how to make big chunks of money to get rich. It is recommended to focus on one thing and make $250,000 in that area. Once you have achieved that, you can move on to the management stage where you build a seven-figure business and learn to hire and manage employees. The final stage is the multiplication stage, where you have a business that generates cash and you can either reinvest in the business to grow it further or start investing in other ventures.
The Importance of Consistency in Social Media
Consistency is the key to social media success. It is important to consistently create and release content to build a following and gain attention. Monetizing social media requires entrepreneurial skills, as getting attention is a skill while monetizing it is another skill. Many content creators struggle to monetize their platforms because they lack the business knowledge and skills. Combining content creation with strong entrepreneurial abilities is the ultimate advantage for success in social media.

Both of these individuals have influenced my entrepreneurial mindset and helped me achieve success in various areas of my life.
