One of the biggest barriers I hear generally from people who want to get into business before they leave school is money, or the need for money to start up.

I just want to turn that on it's head for a moment, because there is no magic fix to that when you have left school / University either. Infact for many the situation gets worse...the cost of rent or mortgages, rates, food bills, heating, car ownership, let alone a few luxuries eat up as much as people earn, very often more, and there are no great breaks for them to raise capital to fund starting a business.

Which is why so many people spend their entire lives stating they want to run a business but they can't.

Money in itself is not the magic ingredient that makes someone a business success at any age.

To become an Entrepreneur you have to apply the skills you plan to use to make yourself successful also to raising capital as you need it and no exactly how you will use it, what return you are going to get from it.

At any age it is not just the need to raise money, it is the need to convince others that you (the entrepreneur) have a solid plan, that you are committed to and are prepared to work at and make succeed.

There is money out there when there is faith in loaning it whatever the age.
