Who can start?
Anyone, who wants to learn and grow and make their future self more successful. I know starting is the most difficult thing but if you want to grow then it is a necessity. The internet is for everyone, even if you are introverted, you can start nobody will judge you. If you think that my updates about learning will be very small, it doesn't matter because even the master of any field was a beginner once upon a time.

During the early days of Elon Musk, he used to share updates about his company and what is his further plan regarding his company. Now also, after acquiring Twitter 🐦he conducts a poll about the minor decision (recent example, should Trump be unbanned ?) and shares his day-to-day activities with us.
