Question

I'm a freshmen so im not quite ready yet but i want to know what to look for so when i graduate i'll know what to do like best type of business to go into and where to start

Answer 1

Get into a business course for high school and read a lot. That'll give you a chance to find ideas one hwat you can do to base your businesses on, or on improvements for your future business. If you don't have much ideas on what your busines should be about, then think about things you like doing or things that you're good at doing. If you know how to paint, sell your painting and other artworks... Be sure to get the advice of your parents and other adults who can help you. Most of all, be sure to plan before you act. A lot of people get so excited over the thought of building a business that they just start without much organization and end up spending hundreds or thousands more just because they had failed to plan.

Oh and one more thing, the government may have certain rules about making a business, especially for people your age. Ask adults if there are any needed documentation or paperwork that you need to fill out or permits that you have to have before you begin. That'll prevent future run-ins with the law.

Answer 2

If you don't have a specific business already picked out the best course to pursue is business administration. You Should Take some college courses after high school.
A degree would be nice to have but you may not be able to afford college. You can take some courses at a community college. If you can't get a degree you can still learn things that will help you. A degree is handy when job hunting but you are the CEO of your business so you have a job lined up.
While you are getting educated you can consider what business you want to get into.

Answer 3

What is stopping you from starting now? If you do your research, most successful serial enterpreneurs started around the age of 12 with their first businesses. Back in the day that might have been a lemonaide stand, doing lawnwork, washing windows or something. But you are in the age of the internet and instant communication.

Whatever the activity, I would suggest something age appropriate which in your case would appeal to a teenage audience, for example, in the realm of music, audio equipment, car accessories, etc. Buy low and sell higher. Remember to account for your overhead and unforeseen expenses, get the appropriate licenses and get busy!

P.S. You also want to think about an exit strategy unless you plan to continue it into college and beyond. Sell, retire, pass the business on to family or friend.....

Answer 4

Start with a marketing or business degree. Add some working capital so you can eat before the business becomes profitable.

Make sure you love to do it, cos you'll be doin it for one seriously long piece of time!

good luck.

Answer 5

You should be proud of yourself just for thinking this way. Most freshmen in high school are not very focused on what they want to do with their lives after high school, so you are to be commended for being so forward thinking.
I would suggest that you speak with your high school counselor. Their job is to help you figure out what it is your are interested in and whether or not you have the apptitude to pursue that vocation. Once they have tested your interests and abilities, they should be able to provide you with the information you will need as to what classes you should be taking to steer you in that direction.

Answer 6

the most important aspect of starting a business is identifying people's needs and wants. if you identify a suitable need and develop a product or service accordingly u can become a millionaire. there are other aspects of business such as financials and supply chain integration. so u need to know basics of business, either u study it at some school or find a mentor who has lots of expirience in this field.
