Starting small is crucial for anyone entering the world of entrepreneurship, as immediate success is unlikely. Taking low-risk steps allows individuals to hone their skills over time, rather than expecting to be proficient from the outset.

By encouraging a mindset that values gradual improvement and skill development, aspiring entrepreneurs can build a solid foundation for future success.
