Hi,

I believe it is also about having the right mindset. Always keep a book about entrepreneurship, self development to keep in you in the right frame of mind. There will periods where you see yourself losing money and people giving up on you but you must build on this self believe that you can do it.

Dont just believe, Do it and show progressive changes. At a young age, you may not know what you want to do yet, so if you are still clueless go out there get a job first to learn the tricks of trade. Pick an industry based on your interests..Keep in mind that you are there to learn not just earn money cos we all know the Boss will earn 10 times what he is paying you.

If you have to go to school to pick up a skill. I suggest you do it and treat it as an investment. There's nothing to lose.

Pick up the relevant skills and see what works for you and what does not. At the same time do not stop thinking of what you wish to accomplish. Have a goal in mind.

Hi, I am 22 years old. I started my business of car detailing when I was in high school around my friends and family. Now I have a client base of around 30 people. Right now is the best time for you to start a business because your young and can make mistakes to learn from. Just never let short term failures keep you from running after your long term goals!
