Spend one to three years working directly in your industry before starting your own thing. You'll learn the unwritten rules and default ways of operating. It's like having assembly directions for an IKEA desk instead of figuring it out from scratch.
A huge leg up that you can have is working 1 to 3 years in the industry that you want to get into. There's huge upside there because you don't even know what you don't know, and you learn so many like default ways of operating. Kind of like if you're building an IKEA desk, right? If you don't have the directions and you have the pieces, you might eventually figure it out, but it's so much— it takes so much more time than having a model to look at because you automatically know. You're like, okay, well, first thing I'm going to do is I'm going to separate my tools over here, put my screws over here, and then I'm going to put my, my My block's over here. Great. So it's the first thing. That's what you do. But if you have no idea and you've never built a table before, you didn't build anything before, then it's way harder to do.
