What advice would you give to someone feeling discouraged or doubtful about their entrepreneurial journey?

My advice is simple: don't wait until you have everything figured out to start. Most entrepreneurs begin with uncertainty, limited resources, and more questions than answers. Progress comes from taking the next step, learning, and adapting along the way.

I started with nothing more than lived experience, a mission, and the belief that I could make a difference. There were many moments when the path forward wasn't clear, but each challenge became an opportunity to learn, pivot, and grow.

Focus on your purpose, celebrate small wins, and remember that success is rarely a straight line. The people who make the greatest impact are often the ones who keep showing up, even when things are difficult. Keep going your story, your vision, and your persistence matter more than you realize.
