That is a great question. Go with your passion and knowledge. The long list of Entrepreneurs had passion and vision. So if that means getting further education and then proceeding with your plan then that is the process and commitment that you should follow. Remember that success is not always rewarded monetarily. How are you helping or giving back to society. Also there must be a need for your product or service. Great success stories have been created by needs!

It's very smart to think about owning your own business at a young age. Being entrepreneurial doesn't necessarily mean that you have to own the business but it can also be taking ownership of your current job and or school. How would you want to improve it? How can more people support and knowledge about what you are doing? How can others join in your initiatives and how are you contributing to society or your circle of influence?
I think sales jobs are probably the best way to hone your entrepreneurial skills. One of my best experiences of becoming an entrepreneur or sharpening that skill is getting my real estate license in college. I was in school full time and was able to use what I was learning in the classroom in the business: marketing, finance, and communications, etc. If you are interested in this route, I would recommend you to work at a real estate office part-time or in the summer, see what agents do. When you finish high school, you can enroll in classes for licensing and then become an entrepreneur in your college years.
I hope this helps and wish you all the best!

The sky is the limit! And Elon Musk is proving the sky isn’t a limit either. So dream. Think of things that inspire you. Think of what needs to change and how you might make it better. Solve a pain point and make sure it would be difficult for anyone else to replicate what you've done. Usually entrepreneurs have knowledge on an area (interest/passion/knowledge). So explore. And I recommend working for an entrepreneur early on so you get valuable training and know what you are going to have to do. Hope that helps.
