1. Start earlier. You're ready enough.
2. Fail faster. Every failure is a lesson.
3. Ask for help. No one figures this out alone.
4. Save more. Financial runway = freedom to take risks.
5. Health first. You can't build anything if you're broken.
6. People matter. Business is relationships.
7. Enjoy the journey. The destination keeps moving.
