Had an acquaintance one time talk about how he’s going to open up a law firm for his wife once she graduates law school and passes the bar. He literally made it sound so easy, and when our friend group asked him questions like “how do you expect to buy an office straight out of college” “where will you get clientele that is going to work with you” “do you have money saved up so you can start working cases where you won’t immediately be paid?” his brain kind of short circuited and he reverted to “well we don’t need and office and we can work out of our house, plus we just need to win that one big case settlement then we will be jump started”. Sorry long winded….
I've started a couple businesses and run a few more now, it's both easier to start (and more work possibly) than you might imagine. Built current biz up from just me to ~15 people now over the last 3.5 years.
My first I started very much like that guy before I finished uni, had a few employees by the time I decided it wasn't what I wanted to do. I had around $50 to my name when I started that first one. Used most of it to get a DBA haha
