Everyone Says Start a Business... But Here’s What They Don’t Tell You - Masterminds Podcast EP10

Why you shouldn’t quit your job too early

The real difference between an entrepreneur and a businessman

How to find your “Ikigai” (the one thing worth building around)

Why testing your idea small can save you thousands

The 80/20 learning rule that separates dreamers from doers

When to hire help — and when to finally quit your job
