There are DJs that couldn't string a 15 minute mistake free set together that have regular gigs. I'm not saying start before you're ready, and I'm definitely not saying it doesn't matter if you play a hit set, but that's not a 'rule' that I've heard before and I don't think it's valid.
Bear in mind that the first gig you should probably be aiming for is likely to be about half an hour to an hour, and it's not going to be in the biggest club in town.
If you don't think you're ready, fine. But if you think you want to give it a shot, don't feel you have to wait until you never make a mistake, because you'll probably be waiting a long time. Everyone makes the odd mistake, but the honest truth is that 9 times out of 10 the only person who notices is the DJ.
It's great to have ambition.....
