None of my customers asked if I had a college degree or how well I did on exams. They wanted my services so they paid me for them and referred business to me. This worked for me in the US. I understand your country is very much based on formal education so I can't say in your case.

Reading books is really important. In fact reading many many books is key. Test scores don't matter in my opinion. Test scores have never paid my bills.

It is completely okay to not be interested in formal education. Just try to get 60%+ in every semester and complete your Bachelors.

Hi! You mentioned in a comment that your school might not be a great place for connections, but since you're there yourself, there definitely might be more people with similar goals and interests.

So I definitely agree with what dewster23 mentioned about it being a great way to connect. But other than school, maybe you can search for events/seminars where making connections is a bit easier.

Starting a business while studying imo creates a situation that forces you to build consistency, since you won't have all day to spend on business. Building. learning and seeing what kind of resources you can use from your study are great ways to keep improving.

I might have gotten a bit side-tracked, let me know if you have any questions!
