Ask HN: Long Term Preparation for the Aspiring Entrepreneur?

4 pointssamirahmed1 comment

What long-term assets, skills and mindset should a person work on developing over the earlier course of their life in preparation to being an aspiring entrepreneur.

In retrospect, does anybody feel that there are key attributes that are worth sharpening to be a more capable and successul founder, public-speaking, networking, more money-minded?

Someone here said something once that I thought was very insightful.

So basically if you want to learn about being a good entrepreneur then start a company right now and be a bad one instead.You'll become a good one(or at least a much better one!) by the time you start your next one.
