Favorite Piece of Advice

My biggest advice to anyone out there chasing their dream is to just start. Start as soon as possible with what you have, and don't wait until you're "ready" or have all the equipment you need. Consistency is key, and you will learn so much through your trial and errors along your journey. So, it's more important to start now instead of waiting for the perfect time or until you have all your ducks in a row!
