I hear this question for all entrepreneur the time.
And while there’s no one-size-fits-all answer, I’ve found it comes down to mastering two core superpowers:
1️⃣ The Power to Sell
Not just products.
But your vision, your mission, your wild ideas.
You’ll need to inspire people to join you,
Earn the trust of investors to back you
Convince customers to believe in you
…and sometimes, convince yourself to keep pushing forward 😅
If you can’t sell, the journey gets a lot tougher.
So start now — pitch your thoughts, share your story, persuade with purpose.
Sales isn’t shady — it’s your lifeline.
2️⃣ The Power to Build
Not just writing code or launching apps.
But solving real problems — and doing it relentlessly.
It’s the focus to stay locked in when others don’t see the point.
It’s the drive to keep showing up when it feels like nothing is working.
Being misunderstood? That’s part of the game.
Believing in your solution anyway? That’s the magic.
Nail these two — and you become unstoppable

And here’s the thing 👇
This isn’t just founder advice.
Students — these are skills for life, not just for startups.
Professionals — knowing how to sell and build gives you leverage, whether you’re climbing the corporate ladder or chasing your own dreams.
There’s no perfect moment to begin.
Start learning.
Start building.
Start selling.
Everything else will fall into place
