Starting a business has been the biggest challenge of my life so far, and it has taught me some of the most valuable lessons.
The primary thing it's done is it's served as a forcing function for me to get in touch with reality, plant my feet firmly on the ground, be pragmatic, and focus on what actually works based on evidence, not what I think or feel SHOULD work. It has served me several helpings of humble pie over the past 5.5 years.
I know it's a risk and requires a certain level of financial stability, but I would encourage anyone who's thinking of starting a business to go for it. It is a journey that will deliver countless invaluable lessons, regardless of how profitable your venture becomes.
