Hey, Im 16 years old so Im not so sure if it's possible to do so much with my age , except starting website and designing.
But anyways, I want to become a entrepreneur, maybe in the future or maybe just soon. So, my question is: If anyone got some links to some good tutorials that explains the biggest parts of how to startup websites or how to start a business or maybe even the smaller parts?
I'm very enthusiastic, I like to talk ;p and I'm creative.
I'm a student and a graphic/web designer.

Or are there any entrepreneurs that charge or free ones that helps out with how to start off a business? My budget is at the moment $110 at Paypal. But I could get more money if I'm in need. Which I'm not at the moment. I don't really want my parents help with money, since they need it more then I do, so I want to be able to start with a low budget and make myself up to higher levels of economy.
I don't consider myself as a dreamer, even though I don't got any bigger experience of the reality of business.

I might get to the point now.. ;p
Okay, so what I'm looking for is actually tutorials or tutors that could help me get an insight of how it really works and how to start a business of any kind - or a specific.
And also some help from you guys:
What business is good for me to start off with?
I'm not really sure what I want either(because I want to do so much all the time) but if I start with something I really want, I'll do it with all my heart and really do it - that's why my school is going quite bad, because I'm not interested, but I have to.
I've been thinking of:
A small brand that might start with hats, caps, then move on to other clothing parts.
T-shirt brand -ll-. With my designs.

Please, add some ideas that would be good for a small starter - me.
As you might have noticed, I have no idea about the real word of business. But I want to learn.
Please, be helpful rather than adding these rude comments saying I'm just a dreamer, because I really want to do something, and if no one helps, I will do it by myself, so either if you help me or ignore me, it's up to you, even though I want help.

Okay, sorry.. I really talk to much.
Sorry for my grammar, not the best. ;p
Oo, I got so much more to write but bet no one will read it if I add about 5 paragraphs. Okay, gotta stop now. ;p

Also, it's not just for the moneys sake, it's more to keep me busy, always have something to do, bah, it's hard to explain.

Creativity is a gift, doing something with it, that can be taught.

Thanks in advance,
S. Vargo

Well sir, I have no direct links but I can recommend going to amazon and with your paypal money ordering a book called 'MBA in a day' or similar. It's practically the outline of an MBA course which will probably give you more information than any tutorial here would give. Although you should not under-estimate the power of a tutor and experience. Good luck.

[SVargo]

Thanks Unsung. Never been at Amazon really, but I'll check it out and will come back here and rate it. Thanks!
I dont under-estimate the power of a tutor and experience? ;p

Thanks once again.

I just went to amazon, registered and were going to buy the book. But it didn't work to pay via Paypal. Only payable with credit card. ;/ Which I dont have, yet.

You reminded me of that my mother has somekind of business book, thanks.
Searched for it and found it. Have no idea wether it's good or not, but I'll ask my mother when she wakes up. The book is called "Good to great". Will look into it later. But will read it for sure. I've only read 5 books from beginning to end, and that's when I'm forced in school. So I don't like reading books. But since it's about business, I will read from beginning to end, if it's a good book. ;p Need to do some research about it first.

erm copy the best lol - ignore your teachers when it comes to copying - see who's already doing something similar and copy 'em! lol

try tutorial sites! - searchengne.biz or Good-Tutorials / Photoshop Tutorials + Flash Tutorials are my favourites.

Hope that helps - and you can start making reality at any age I reckon even if the law doesn't. I've been doing designs since age of 12 as I love to draw but then the love for making virtual designs was greater and would help in the future helped me to pick up techniques like programming, etc.

i have ran a small clothing line and I have recently opened up my design/print studio.

I would be willing to work with you on printing some tee shirts if you wanted to go that route.

Just let me know.

Yeah, but I don't need any Photoshop tutorials. Thanks.. ;p
I'm already well experienced in PS.

Also, if you only would copy, then it would be hard to start your own path later on, so I prefer going with my own style.

@MASapparel
Thanks, I sent you an email just 1 min ago.

Thanks,
Simon

I personally don't think your age has much bearing on your ability to make money... if you have some skills and are willing to learn more and aren't a total schlep, you have the ability to make as much or more than anyone here. maybe you need a product to sell or service to offer (or one will elead into another) and a little experience but really, what does it take to make money over the internet??

find a guy who needs help selling his product, put together a package for him and take a fat comission... lol that's it.

Making money isn't some grand scheme that has to be drug out in business plans for years and years, involving financing and mentors and all the other crap...... just find an idea and go with it. god, so many people put more work into he "yacking/conceptualization" part of it it's no wonder they fail before they get out of the gate or turn the first dollar.

nike said it best... Just do it.

I have never thought of age as an issue. However, experience is, and age is often related to experience.

yes, age is often related to experience but, this kid is 16 yrs old... of course he doesn't have experience but "maybe" he has some skills... I'm 50 yrs old and have a lot of experience. (but no skills lol)

Seems to me (and of course, i would never listen as a kid either) that if he had an open mind, he could draw on not only my experiences but yours as well and get his experience that way... (not ours but could be someone in his community, maybe his parents?)

Experience shouldn't be a "requirement" it should be a goal or considered a "perk". I have to look back a ways to find 16 yrs old but I remember having the same argument trying to get a job...


Look, I just spent a very lengthy last 2 years of my life with a graduate of the U of O and "entreprenuer of the year" at his business college and this guy had all the talk and all big plans to market my product and honestly, If i was his dad, I'd be at that school demanding my money back and asking for fair compensation for turning what could have been an successful entreprenuer's head into chowder.

here is a guy who all he needed to do was put up a web page and set up some affiliates and he could have been making 10k per month without trying!

All the talk and know how but no gumption... no drive and fear of fear! fear of trying!

I'll bet this 16 yr old kid with no experience "and" without the designer education could make more money than my failed educated project manager. given he had a personality and some common sense at least... you can't turn a glass of sand into water no matter how hard you try. but assuming he had "something" going for him...

listening and comprehending and observing is a great substitution for experience.. experience has to come in time. right?

anyway, just some thoughts...
