00:30So, my advice typically to young founders is that first really capture your own market,

00:48become really good in your own market, like build a solid moat around your core market.

00:57metros, you want to go to tier 1, tier 2, tier 3, and now people are talking about tier

01:024 and the hinterland.

01:03You know, there's no dearth of market out here, but once you've done that well and you

01:07know you've got a good thing going, that's the time where you seek out opportunities

01:11also.

01:27I would say first is focus.

01:38Do one thing and do it well, so go deep and narrow.

01:41After you're making a profit there, that's when you can think of doing additional stuff.

01:45I would say in your first job, focus on a job where you're either making something or

01:51selling something.

01:52Don't do any other kind of job.

01:54That'll help you in your entrepreneurial journey.

01:56Second, be frugal.

01:58Third, dream big, but start small.
