To foster this entrepreneurial spirit, educational institutions and companies are investing in programs, workshops, and startup incubators that help young people succeed. However, the path to successful entrepreneurship is not without its challenges. Obstacles such as financial constraints, lack of practical knowledge, and unpredictable market conditions can hinder your journey.
