My personal suggestion would be to first create an indestructible mindset:

Top Mindset:​

Nobody's ever coming to save me, ever. I need to save myself!​

I'm pissed off, I don't have the life I want to have.​

I believe I can do anything I put my mind to, By God.​

If I say something, I'm going to do it, my word is iron.​

Create a habit an ability to consume knowledge at a frighteningly fast pace. Also learn how differentiate from good and bad advice.

Personally I would advice: Getting into Sales. Sales is a very fast way to make money for a young entrepreneur. What I personally did was: At 19 yo, I approached a start up real estate firm (they had a decent brand and reputation), told them I will work for free (part time while doing uni), and agreed on 50% of the commission if I sell/rent a property. Took me 6 months to do my first rental. 3 months after the 1st rental I was making about USD2000/m working part time. Note: I live in Sri Lanka so USD2000/m is like top 1% earners.

Anyways get into sales: Property, Insurance, Roofing, Cars, etc. Remember that virtually anyone can sell they just need to build the right skillset.

It takes different skillsets and financial vehicles to scale from $0-$10,000 then $10,000-$100,000, $100,000-$1M etc. So keep stacking your skills and never stop learning.

i feel as if i have heard a young multimillionaire living in dubai who started a digital marketing agency when he was young saying something along those lines.....

Good topic for discussion. I would also like to have my own business and I don't know from what to start

Have you read the books? If not read them first.
Also it may sound harsh, but the world doesnt hand out money for what YOU want. It will give you money in exchange for what IT wants (the people)
Nobody cares if you Want to start a business.
However if you have a business that provides something other people want, now its onto something
So here's how to start, find out how you can help/solve problems for other people and get paid for it in exchanhe.
And read the books if you havent.
