Travis McMenimon: “It is the classic entrepreneurial dilemma: Go to work and get some knowledge of an industry and its needs verses Go out and start a company based off a perceived need while I am still young.”

    Do both… Get a job and start a business on the side. Maybe not a wholesale dry goods distribution company, but there are plenty of businesses one can start in the evenings/nights.

    I am 27 and a full time entrepreneur, after 2 years of working a job + 20 hrs a week hatching my company. I wouldn’t be able to run this business w/out the
    experience of 6 years/ 3 different positions that I worked inside one company. A big company lets you experiment and make mistakes, and learn from their cash.

    I couldn’t have started a business @ 21 that would have been successful. At the time, I though I could, but looking back, I now know I was way too naive and unknowledge-able about things.
