What does it take to build a startup from ideation to a million-dollar business?

Most often than not, what plays in our minds that we thought are just for fun could actually turn into something that’s viable and promising to make a great impact in the world.

Entrepreneurship takes quite a bumpy road to make ideas become a reality. And regardless of race, color, or even gender, we are all equally given the opportunity to have that courage to unleash something brilliant from our ideas and make it a reality that could bring about a great impact on our lives and other’s lives.

It takes a lot of interest, dedication, and patience to learn the skills not just from experiences in the business field but more so from our very own personal experiences as we grow up that molds us to become who we want to be and what we want to build.

And the very thing that would keep us moving towards achieving something is making a decision every step of the way.
