I had zero experience, but I did know from my previous job in college that I was good at learning and collecting from data, setting up and building experiments over and over again, and making business decisions with the information provided to me. I believe that this is one of the most important qualities you can have to be a successful entrepreneur.

Take calculated risks and stick to realistic goals. As an entrepreneur, I know how we start exceeding our expectations, and the next thing we realize is that we are walking on earth like a rampant.
