Step 1: Read The 48 laws of Power
Step 2: Read The Art of Seduction
Step 3: Find a profession that you either like, or can tolerate, apprentice under someone, build connections during your apprenticeship. Then one the day comes start your own venture.

No one becomes rich by working for someone else. The only way to be rich is to be a business owner where your success or failure is based on you alone.

Remember, doctors, lawyers, dentists aren't rich because they're doctors, lawyers, and dentists....they're rich because they own their own business.

If you can run your own show, then the sky's the limit. You make the rules, you decide how the customer needs to be treated. If you have the ability....then do it. Don't leave it up to some schmo to fvck everything up. I've worked with maybe one great boss who owned the company I worked for. He was a mentor and someone I tried to emulate, our relationship went sour eventually (that's a story I tell over a beer) but either way, I learned a lot from him. Besides him, most of the business men I've worked with were out for themselves only, and cared about me only when it came to making them money.

If you have and idea and the drive, take the reigns, and take the risk. Fvck it, go for broke, and give it what you got. You're not living in the communist China, otherwise you'd be in a factory 12 hours a day making money for someone else. You're living in a country that supports capitalism and business(don't worry about the current regime), take advantage of it.

And this. But if it's your business, and you take ownership, you'll love it. It won't be a jay oh bee, it will be what you do.

I dunno what planet you are living on but China stopped being Communist 20 years ago, now its hyper capitalist and you'd have a better chance of a business succeeding here than in America land of the broke. Don't listen to all that small business cheerleading BS... its fvcking hard to get a successful biz going. If you don't have a J O B then you better have a ton of C A S H saved up to carry you for a year or two. Depending on how new you are to small business, it could take you a good year or two before you actually learn how to network and get setup. Expect that you will initially not make ANYTHING.

I've started 2 small businesses that I pumped tons of money into, only to run into small snags that completely toppled my plans. The 3rd one I started did fairly well only because I'd made so many mistakes beforehand on the previous two. The 4th is doing half decent but having a JOB making money for someone else is much easier and less stressful.

You forget to factor in the sheer amount of marketing work YOU have to do FOR FREE... unless you are selling some crazy hot new invention that people are begging for or have some super hot service that people need, then you are going to have to bust your ass FOR FREE. You are going to get snubbed A LOT, told to FOFF, have people shut doors in your face, you will have to be very think skinned. The best thing to do is to approach that sort of thing cautiously and on the weekends to start... once you build a customer base and your weekends are completely full of work hours, then you can consider expanding into your job space. Trust me mate, it sucks living with 0 dollars and having to move back into your parents house cause your business idea tanked.
 

If you want to talk, talk to your friends. If you want a girl to like you, listen to her, ask questions, and act like you are on the edge of your seat.
