Entrepreneurship... doable for anyone?

The Idea of someone starting their own business is a very appealing thing. No boss, freedom, you decide your hours, and your salary. Well starting you own business is great for the person who loves to create, go against the norm, and take a risk. An example of this is if someone loves sports marketing, but doesn't want to tied down to what the boss' vision is, it would be a good idea to venture out and put your vision out there. Starting your own business has many perks, but the liability and time ( in most cases) is on the individual. Years and thousands could be wasted if one's idea tanks.
Risk will always be present in life, especially if there is a potential for growth, and success. For a long time now, I have been thinking about starting my own business as well. Although I appreciate big business, and the jobs it creates, I never really felt that I would enjoy "falling in line" so if their was anyway to do something I liked, that would support my family, on my own terms I was all for it.
I am still at the crossroads in my life. There are many things that I would love to do. I would love to open a sports management firm, my own restaurant, even a candy factory, but as I experience more I know I will find the special occupation that is right for me. No matter what business I decide to go in, I will always be ready to jump into politics, where my first love has always been. I believe nobody should have to "fall in line" Fordham student and college students all around the world should have to feel as though their are barriers around them. All they need is a solid plan, the desire, and a little help along the way. Entrepreneur's have created many great things, and have helped many places, so my opinion is if you want to do your own thing in life and not be restricted... go for it.
