“The one thing that is easiest for beginners to absolutely start with, is not necessarily like an online business, is just freelancing... and it's a good way to eventually transition into an online business by offering these services, seeing what's in demand, seeing how much you can charge, and even just learning a certain skill.” - Yury Byalik

“If you can find a mentor, that's the best way to save a couple of years. The best thing to do is not to kind of go and listen and read as much as you can. You first want to know what you're trying to do, and then when you have questions or you're trying to figure out a problem.” - Yury Byalik
