Hi I'm Simon,
I have very importent question for you.

Should I try start doing any business at 14 years old?

Or

Should I develop myself doing good habits like: physical train or learning useful things, but of course the science of business?

Could you answer the question? Please

Depends on how heavy your curriculum is.

And your family background.

If I have rich support to fall back on then I am not too afraid to screw up my grade.
 
At 14 you have the learning advantage. You have disadvantages in business.

Learn how to think better and solve problems. Pick up useful skills. Read as many books as you can, learn how to speak and write well. How to communicate, do calculations. Learn about the world. Do sports regularly and make some good friends for life.

If I was 14 again I would do this:
- Learn about all the bad effects of social media today, and how it affects your mental health, especially in 2024
- Continue socializing with almost everyone, but without cigarettes, alcohol and drugs
- Write daily to train my thinking 15 years earlier
- Focus on developing some physical training routine that you like, sports, gym, running, cycling, DIY, whatever

All those things would be a great multiplier on whatever you decide to do. Business will come as natural conclusion as you do more and more things.

I have to correct myself, since my post was insanely irresponsible. Something was nagging me in the back of my mind but couldn't figure it out until now. Socializing with everyone might be a terrible advice depending where you are in the world. I wrote my post as what I would literally say to myself when I was 14 years old. But I grew up in one of the safest countries in the entire world. Only real dangers were drinking too much and occasional drunk driver late at night.

Socializing with everyone might be a terrible idea if you are from a place where there are legit dangers. Spirit of what I wanted to say was to never discount anyone, and try to talk with as many different people, from all walks of life. But stay smart if you are in a place where there are real dangers, and avoid people involved with really bad stuff.

Pay close attention to #7 - compounding. If you start something, anything, at 14 years old, and continue improving, how good do you think you'll be at 20? 30? 40 even?

If you start talking to girls every day at 14, do you think you'll be awkward with women at 20? Probably not.

If you start exercising 3-5 days a week at 14, and continue with it, do you think you'll be out of shape at 20? Probably not.

If you develop a work ethic at 14, do you think you'll be lazy at 20? Probably not.
 
If I had my time back, I'd try to learn handyman type skills from parents/family or a local business. Basic plumbing/electrical etc. Very practical life long skills.
 
If I was that young, I would pick a copy of 'Efficiency' by BowTiedBull and give it a read.
