Starting Young: Ambition vs Reality

Being in your 20s means energy, curiosity — and confusion. I launched my first digital consulting business while pursuing an AI Master’s degree. Here’s what that looked like.

What I Got Wrong (at First)

  • Trying to do everything solo
  • Undervaluing deep work
  • Chasing clients instead of clarity

What Changed My Game

  • Clear service positioning
  • Systems (like Notion, Todoist, and automation)
  • Reframing “failure” as feedback

Advice for Other Young Entrepreneurs

Start messy. Learn fast. Focus on value and leverage — not hustle and noise.
