HEY! Thanks for posting your comment. Love to help other aspiring entrepreneurs succeed and achieve their dreams. First off, I would say is to find something that "turns you on". Some industry or some topic that you can talk about hours on end without feeling bored. That something will most likely be something that you are passionate about and turning that into a viable business has the most chances of success. If you can find that one idea that you are intensely passionate about, you can work late nights, long hours etc. without losing interest. That goes hand in hand with the advice of never do anything for the sake of attaining wealth. Follow your passion, dream and vision and the $ will come your way.

Wish you much success. Visit the other sections of youngentrepreneur.com for resources, expert tips etc. Good luck!

Jonton,

It's good that you want to be an entrepreneur. Two things to think about:

1. You can starve as an entrepreneur
2. You can become extremely wealthy as an entrepreneur

Obviously most of us prefer the second option. But it takes more than just saying or thinking that you want to be an entrepreneur to become one; especially a successful one. In most every case you have had to put some effort into learning how to be a successful entreprenuer. In most cases successful entrepreneurs failed one or more times before becoming successful.

Just doing what you like and trying to make money from it is no guarantee of success. In most cases it leads to option #1 above.

I suggest that you get a "real" job and work at that while learning to become an entrepreneur. As you learn the necessary skills you can slowly work yourself out of your job and into your entrepreneurial business full time. Realize this could take years if you try doing it all on your own.

How do you shorten the time to your success and lessen the number of failures? Get mentors. Read business books. Study finances and how money works. Get practice in businesses that already are succeeding. Take a job as a salesman and get trained how do be successful at that. Learn to manage your personal finances in a responsible, profitable manner. There are many ways to get the experience you need. Just wanting to be an entrepreneur is usually not enough.
