Look, I'll tell you this from experience, I started out in my late teens to set out to become my own boss before my mid 20s, didn't work out so well... Doesn't mean it doesn't work for everybody BUT I made it in the end in my early 30s and I am financially free but that came with a lot, a heck of a lot of effort and equal amount of pain... The one thing I regret not doing when I had all the time in the world I.e. my teens and my early 20s is that, had I put my effort into learning modern day skills like social media marketing or coding, I could have gone a lot further, I'm doing it now but with so many responsibilities that comes with age, it gets quite difficult to take time out for your own self so my advise, take the time to master one or two skills and then move forward with your business pursuits... I know at this time, you might not feel you have the time to explore skills development... I did too when I was your age but trust me, I had time, so do you... You want to go into drops shipping but you don't if it'll be relevant anymore by the time you get there??? Learn social media marketing, once you master that, you can sell anything... I turned $300 into $150k....TRUST ME! Don't rush it, focus all your free time and then some into learning a new skill first... Best of luck!
Agreed. Check the coding and social media marketing boxes while you’re still young.
