There is an awful lot of gate keeping in this sub and in people's minds of what is being an entrepreneur.
Go to the grocery store and buy a case of water and a bag of ice, take them to a place where a lot of people are gathered and sell them for something around double the price that you paid for them.
Take your profits and buy twice as much water next time.
Rince and repeat until you have enough money to invest in something with a higher margin.
Once you have a bigger amount of money, get a couple of friends. You set them up with the water, they sell it, you get half the profits, they get half the profits. These guys don't earn you as much money, but there are more of them.
Live with 9 roommates, and eat nothing but rice and beans, don't spend money on anything, keep reinvesting it into the business, growing it, buying assets that make you money.
