Too old to be an entrepreneur, a little late in the game at 35? I was sick for long time.

[GuestUser3010h]

Hello Fellas,

I’m 35 going on 36 in a few months. Why did it take all this time to think of being an entrepreneur?

Well I have been sick all my life and couldn’t work or go to university until recently. I went threw three years college before in the past , but then the sickness came back and I had to drop out for a long, long time up until now.

Anyway I’m getting better now according to my doctors. I used to have many jobs and I hated them all, hated working for mostly jerks. I had one boss that was nice to me and kind, and guess what? I worked much, much harder for him then those jerks, all because he treated me well like a human and not some machine. I would much rather work for myself. I don’t think I necessarily need an MBA , what do you think? In today’s market do you need a business degree. I also doubt I will ever get into Wall Street because those men go to Ivy League schools and I can’t get into any of those. Even if my grades were perfect I still probably couldn’t get into an Ivy League business school or work on Wall Street. Think I should get my MBA, do I need one to become super-rich?

If you guys have anything to say, any advice, opinions, thoughts, etc. that you think will help me in the right direction then by all means, please feel free.

Nice to see that you've persisted and still have the optimism to start your own business.

Getting an MBA will not really do anything to help you with starting a business. While you may learn a lot, as a practical matter, you can learn that on your own. Or eventually hire people that have the skills that you do not.

An MBA is in large part mostly helpful to progress up the ladder in corporate America and to a small degree to be able to show off. Starting and running a business does not require an MBA. And is by no means a qualifier to financial independence.

Just find a need in the marketplace for a product or service and fill it.

How bad do you wanna live on 10k a year for the next 5 years? Probably not bad enough. Seriously, 10k a year for 5 years.

If your cool with that, nothing can stop you.
