Every time I see a business oportunity, a solution to a current problem, or a chance to make some profit, I always tell my dad, because he is my best contact, and I consider he'll have good advice. But every single time it goes like this:
-Hey, dad, I just had this idea that could work very well, due to (detailed reasons). It consists on (insert really good idea) and it could be useful for blablabla
-No, that is stupid because you don't know anything about that topic/industry.
He keeps telling me to focus only on college. I am a marketing student and I learn coding at home by myself (also by recommendation of my dad). He says that if I am a very good student, may be in 10-15 years I'll have enough knowledge to then launch a startup on the industry that I have studied, because Elon Musk and Bill Gates started that way.
Does it have to be like that?
Do I have to be an expert on something in order to start a business?
Can't I just have an idea and then learn the things I need to know to get the business going?
