Getting started in business is the hardest part. If you had the very best start, you would have been born with a natural predisposition for business, and then you would have been educated by your parents, teachers and tutors every day since. Likewise, you would have trained at jobs, saved money to take on future competitors and proactively taken steps to build your confidence. In this best-case scenario, you would be more adept to go out on your own since you are “ahead of the game.” Besides, if your theoretical competitors had fewer financial successes, they would more than likely have less confidence and self-esteem. If you were expected to compete with these people in a profitable, burgeoning industry, you would more than likely control a greater market share and literally make millions of dollars sooner.
Nevertheless (back in reality), nothing can be perfect; nobody has perfect luck and skills, nor could they have studied and worked every day of their lives. In the business world, this truly leaves a field wide open and leaves you with years of time to study, practice and build. This can make up for any luck or genetic advantage that you may think you are missing. As long as you choose to build your self-confidence proactively, you can compete in business and in life irrespective of the past.
