At what age did you start your first entrepreneurial venture? I know this is the age of young start-up and business owners, but as a 22-year-old working in law, and hoping to finally feel like she knows what she's doing at her job, I sometimes wonder if it's better to start when you're not too busy figuring your career out. Any advice on this topic? The business I want to start is offering contract review and legal document preparation services for small businesses or freelancers.

I started my own boutique when I was 27 and have been doing it ever since. As I always say, it is never too late to start your own business. I think that would be a really great business to start honestly.

So, like, a law firm?

I launched my first small venture in my twenties, but honestly, there’s no “perfect” age. It helps to have some real-world experience, especially in law, since your expertise can set you apart. Starting while you’re figuring out your career is common these days. If you wait to feel “ready,” you might never make the leap, so go for it when the idea feels right, and use your law job to inform your side business.
