22 year old trying to start a business

Big respect for asking this early on — it shows you’re thinking long-term, not just chasing quick money.

Here’s my honest advice:

1. Get clear on what you’re building.
Are you starting a job you own, or a business that works with or without you?
You’ll need to structure things differently depending on that answer.

2. Don’t guess your way through it.
It’s easy to fall into a pattern of undercharging, overworking, and constantly adjusting on the fly.
That’s why we built a simple foundation at Energize Us EDU based on three pillars:

• Hard Skills – Knowing your trade
• Soft Skills – Communication, leadership, time management
• Self-Development – Clarity, discipline, emotional control

If you want to build something sustainable, you have to build yourself while you build the business.
