Forget the pressure to calculate everything from the beginning.
You don't need a big plan, huge resources, or all the answers to get started.
Sometimes, the most successful people are those who just take the first step.
The world is constantly evolving, so focus on starting and adapt in the process. It's the action that matters the most.
The above companies have evolved a lot and different a lot from the beginning but one thing that has not changed is that they create value and profit, only the form of value and profit changes. That's the core of entrepreneurship spirit.
