You can jump into a Battleship (big, powerful ship) within a week or so, and then someone with a smaller and much less expensive ship is going to destroy you, because they took time in developing skills for the equipment and learning how to fly it.
If you only have 300 million, you aren't going to be getting a 150 million ship, you will be getting a 20 million ship and progressing slowly but effectively.
If you only have 300 million, you aren't going to load cargo for 200 million on a T1 hauler and try to carry it at once to a busy system (Jita), you will split in 5 courses with 40 million each and nobody is going to gank you for it.
Just... think before you do something and the game becomes pretty easy.
