Be like Elim. Be ambitious. Be curious. Be authentic. This guy is 17 years old and has already set up a business last year, applied for funding and then realised he had the wrong positioning and shut it down to keep on the search for success. Meanwhile he started a podcast. Interviewing guests as many as possible. Focusing on entrepreneurs to catch their insights. He has joined online Entrepreneur communities and groups to network and build relations. He speaks 3 languages. He plans to relocate to Silicon Valley to be further exposed to business opportunities and is not sure whether University would be worth the time investment. I’m sure many of his peers are thinking “oh, I’m young, I’ve got plenty of time, no rush” but at the same time. Why wait?? He’s already on the path to success. ????
