There are absolutely no limits on how or who can become an entrepreneur. You most certainly do not need a university degree or loads of money in the bank or even business experience to start something to become a great success. There is however a great need for building a strong business start-up plan and determination to see it through. The odds are that you are more likely to have a strong drive and a deep desire to be working for yourself, but possibly not the know-how of what to do about building a business.
