Any role that lets you see the financials and inner working parts of a company. Having valuation experience is helpful if you need to acquire a business.

"If you always put limits on everything you do, physical or anything else, it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them." - Bruce Lee
 

find a mentor in the space that you want to start a company in and work for them, or try and start doing stuff by yourself but you are going to screw up a lot. I'm trying to start a 'business' right now and it's a huge failure I'm trying to figure it out alone and it's so hard to find anyone who wants to just help without getting anything out of it. not sure what I'm gonna do I'm not gonna give up on what I'm doing but it's tough man.
