Explanation:

When starting a business like a bakery, immediately finding a storefront, putting down a deposit, and signing a lease is not a good early step. There are many other aspects to consider first such as market research, business planning, etc. Contacting a mentor, creating an elevator pitch (even with limited info to get feedback), and estimating the target market are more reasonable early - stage actions.

Answer:

Immediately finding a storefront property for her business, putting down a deposit, and signing a lease.
