"Based on your experience, what are the three to five key steps I should focus on during the first 90 days of launching my business, and what is the first practical step I should take starting tomorrow?" - @Khalid Alraihan Starting a business can feel overwhelming, especially in the beginning. This question gets to the heart of what matters most in those critical first 90 days.

Most people quit after the first messy version. But the first version is supposed to be messy. Look at these logos. Apple’s first logo was a complicated drawing. Google started as a search engine called BackRub. Nike began with just text before the swoosh became iconic. McDonald’s tried many designs before the golden arches became famous. None of these brands got it right the first time. They built something, learned from it, and made it better. That is how growth works. Your first video may feel awkward. Your first product might look simple. Your first idea may not get much attention. That is normal. Airbnb started with a basic website. Instagram began as an app called Burbn with too many features. YouTube started as a dating site idea. Every great company started rough. They kept showing up, improving their work, and building. Your first try is not the final version. It is just the starting point. What is one thing you started that looked messy at first but got better over time?

I think we learn the most when we start doing the work. Recently, I’ve realized something. I used to read very little. Not because I didn’t like learning. But because I didn’t have enough real questions. I’d finish a book, think, “That was interesting,” close it, and then go back to living exactly the same way. I didn’t know how to apply what I’d just read. Today, it’s different. Every day of building my business brings a new question. - How do I help clients become independent instead of relying on their coach? - How do I build a sustainable business? - How do I find the right people to work with? - How do I create a service that truly creates value? Whenever I don’t know the answer, I turn to books. Not to read more. But to gain a different perspective. What’s fascinating is that I’ve gone back to books I read years ago. Back then, they felt ordinary. Today, they feel completely different. The books haven’t changed. I have. My experiences have helped me notice things that I simply couldn’t see before. It also changed the way I think about learning. I used to believe I had to learn enough before I was ready to take action. Now I think it’s the opposite. Action creates questions. And those questions give learning its meaning. These days, I don’t read to find the perfect answer. I read to have a conversation with people who have walked this path before me. To see a problem from different perspectives. Then I go back and test those ideas in my own work and life. For me, that’s what learning looks like now. Not learn first, then act. But act, learn, reflect, and repeat. I’d love to hear your thoughts. Have you ever gone back to a book years later and realized it meant something completely different because you had changed?

Hi everyone I'm a 14-year-old student from Vietnam and maybe it seems a bit rare to see a Vietnam young student in here and and I'm a little nervous about making my first post here. Before joining the community,I'm a little bit addicted to game and chess. One day, I came across a video about Elon Musk's daily routine. It didn't change me overnight, but it was the beginning of a change in my mindset about how successful people think and learn. Since then, I've been spending more time improving my English(Although my english not very good), studying for the SAT, learning about first-principles thinking (I'm still a beginner), and exploring communities like this one. My dream is to build technology that solves important problems in the future, and I know I have a lot to learn before I get there. I don't have a business yet, and my English isn't perfect, but I'm here to learn from people with more experience. Thank you for having me. I'm looking forward to learning from all of you!
