Thus, in my role as mentor to young entrepreneurs, I always recommend that you first take a hard look at your own values and priorities, before jumping into any new startup, as the founder, or even as a side hustle. Only you can turn these questions and related decisions into your competitive edge, as well as satisfying results.
