My Entrepreneurial Journey #shorts

Everybody's entrepreneurial journey starts somewhere, right? And while I think it's hard to pick out exactly where mine started, I think it is pretty easy to point out the place in my life where I learned a lot of these skills and a lot of the mindsets that I'm putting to good use today, building my consulting business and my marketing agency. So some of you may know, some of you may not know, I did not complete college. I went for two years, and I ended up dropping out my first year. I went to a private Christian school, liberal arts kind of school in the Chicago area, about 45 minutes from where I grew up in. And it was here that I created this first startup. Now, this startup did not make me any money. In fact, it probably ended up costing me a good amount of money, like most people's first business venture, right? But it was a really great experiment in business partnership, learning the different skills that contribute to running a successful team, and ultimately just set me on kind of the beginning of the path that got me to where I am today, building out my consulting business.
