Advice #8 : Always start with an “end” in mind
Growing up, Nat always had a strong interest in figuring out how things work. This innate curiosity led him to start his first e-commerce business at the age of 21, before venturing into photography and the digital media business at the age of 25. However, just when things were working well for him, he was struck with a life-threatening illness which put his business, and all his plans to a halt.
