How many years of experience did you have before starting your own business?

No time like the present. I started my first business at 16 - Landscaping. I quickly gained customers and learned that it wasn't for me - I wasn't passionate about the industry, so the excitement waned quickly. My next venture became the largest job board in Western Canada. With this business, I was excited about what we were building, wanted to get to know our customers better, and was driven to find product/market fit. I've had the good fortune to build a few successful businesses, yet I learned much more from the ones that didn't work. When do I need to lean into the problem? When do I need to quit? How do I surround myself with the right people? You learn much more when things go wrong because the pressure forces you to take inventory and review. My take - Ship it!

I started my first without having any experience. It eventually had to shut down.The one i am starting currently is with 5 years of development experience .

4 years

I started my first company when I was 18, with zero experience. I learned it all along the way

I started playing around with personal projects and businesses when I was around 25, so I guess I had about 2 or 3 years of experience working for a company.

About 20 years for me. I started designing and building websites in 1998. For some reason, I always had the mentality that everyone else was always ahead of me, and there was no point in starting. I'd just get lost in the vast sea that is the internet... until I realized that my own inaction was the real problem all along!

none. i had zero experience. i learned everything on the fly. fortunately i had 2 friends that had experience. i ended up becoming our pseudo CEO, only because i worked harder, and was more desperate
