Find a problem - start with your hobbies
Talk to the community/friends - to validate problem
Bootstrap until you have validated business - spend only on necessary stuff

Thanks

[@okotray4577]

Good

[@penguin500000]

Very refreshing to hear this. Too many people advise you to work at a corporation before starting a business. The problem is it doesn't equip you for working on a startup as you dont learn a variety of skills and the growth tends to be very slow.
If you want to start a business follow this advice and get stuck in. Or if you want more experience first, go and work for a startup.

I'm at college and I started selling Stickers at Etsy last year. It was the best decision ever!!! I barely have any social life at the moment but it's ok. Would rather do this than party.

[@jumejume6921]

I'm seeing myself in that story
It's realy hard being in the USA as a strange student with different language and education to start a busness without no contact and experience. Thank you for sharing that with me😍

Assuming that I've a business idea related to coding field which can solve a real life problem but I'm from mechanical side. But yes I'm good at business. What if I hire a team of coders to work with me? Or should I start learning coding language?
(Given, money issues are there for hiring teammates).
Looking forward for reply.

[@brunohiis2306]

Coding a language is a process that requires a lot of hard thinking and experience, that won't come overnight. I would really appreciate if I would get to know your idea, me and my friend from Estonia have been coding for about 2 years now in college. We would be happy to help you with your business.
