Probably smarter people than I will have better ideas, but if you make your
else an elif and use an expression something like
*** counter = 0 # somewhere before the while
elif counter < 10:
    counter += 1
    print("type start")
else
    print("just do it")
that should (roughly) do it, unless I'm misunderstanding. Good luck!
