Make the decision
This will be the first of many decision you will have to make on your own. Here, you have to decide on what you will do and in most at times, it will be somehow strange especially if you are the type who is getting directions from others.

Choose your niche and narrow it down.
You can just make a research on Google because is like it can afford in the business of just about everything. Remember is important to pick up a specific niche but before you pick your niche, you have to ask yourself some questions like what will your area of focus be?

These are all good points, being self employed is not a days joy, it takes time dedication, and consistency you actually need to start from somewhere. There are certain cases where you might need to work under someone first to gain enough experience before you can full startup something of your own. If you decide to ro work under anyone before starting up your business, just make sure you have enough knowledge of what you are going into, after you decided on what you want to do, learn all that there is to learn about the business.

Before we aim at being a self employed person, we need to ask ourselves if we really have the charisma and what it takes to be one. People only think it is that easy to be a self employed person. In fact, I said it in one of my posts that being a self employed person is more stressful than being an employee. People should know that not everybody deserves to be self employed. There are some people that do not have the ability to endure difficult situations that a self employed person will likely face in the course of running his business.

My advice to the younger generation who have plans of being an entrepreneur is to make an introspection - evaluation of one's personality and character regarding relationships. An entrepreneur cannot be lazy and should be dynamic at all times. He should also be adventurous and daring but not always. But the best asset of an entrepreneur is the skills in communication. You need to be good in speaking with the choice of words, idioms and expressions. There is a business owner here who does not speak much and he looked snobbish. You can guess that his business has remained to be small for 5 years. He can improve that business if he can hire someone who has good rapport with the customers and who can persuade strangers.

You have really done well with all the explanation you have made .
Before one could say he or she want to become an entrepreneur there are many things needed to be put in to consideration.
one need to have idea of what to do in the first place because without that all the resource gather and the capital may be destroy and scatter.
one must be ready to make good research on where to put the company or shop may be there us any competitor there or not and if there is any then one can strategize how to over come that.
Any body that is ready to become an entrepreneur must ready to devote his or time for that business so that success can come out if it and more profit can be made.
