If you have money, it is best but if you haven’t, search for funding. It can be loans, crowdfunding, or equity investment.

Make sure you try to learn from your surroundings. Learn from others’ mistakes. Do not repeat what other people have done wrong. And when you reach a certain point, get the proper tools to manage the chaos of life. Be a good leader, not a boss!
