Advice for future migrant entrepreneurs
To live in a foreign country, it is important to learn the language and to adapt to the mentality and culture of the receiving society. Use your time, start learning from the first moment, do not waist your time by only waiting. Get enough experience before you start your own business. Start only if you can finance at least 70% from your own savings.
