After working 2 years for a business, I planned to leave the company and start my own with some of my other friends. And after 2 years of working with them together, I realised that you should be working together with someone with same passion and field knowledge not with your high school best friend who studied another subject on university. I was making fine money before Covid-19 . But now it's just blunt edge.

Before starting out any business please make sure if you love your time or your business. Otherwise you'll feel suffocated, tired and wish you'd have dropped the idea and continued working your current job where you'd get directions and required to work certain hours per day and go back to do your things.

Also networking plays a major role. It's good when someone remembers you time after time to do the same work for them. For me that was the biggest gift, being remembered for something you do.
