There is something inside me thats telling me that I really am suppose to be or am going to eventually be a entrepreneur i dunno why? How come I feel like this? I only ran a amazon and ebay store and often sell stuff on the side. Most of the time I gained profit from it all. But is it really for me?? Am I just over thinking things?

If you have been Selling in the past ————-You are already on your way as an Entrepreneur— And your age should not matter .
My thoughts on this are, when you graduate from college, you will no doubt get a job working for someone. Will that job make you rich? Or will the entrepreneur that started that business become wealthy from your efforts? I too went to college, graduated, and have a decent job that I love, but it’s definitely not making me enough money to live the lifestyle that I really want. So I started my own business running a couple web site’s in my spare time, feel free to check them out. =D
Also, go get the book ‘Rich Dad, Poor Dad’ and read it immediately, it will change your life. It did mine.
No, you are not over thinking anything.
I had this strong feeling when I was in High School. It was very boring there and when I asked my teachers how to make money, they were all like poorly trained parrots repeating — get good grades and find yourself a good job.
Well, I dropped the parrots half way, started my own business and never looked back since. Traveled the world many times over and back, operated my businesses on three continents in half a dozen countries, retired at 45 debt free and now I conduct seminars on how to make money and those former teachers were my students. Go figure.
My advice to you — find yourself an entrepreneur mentor, follow his advice but most of all, always follow your heart and you will never look back. College education is overrated and total waste of time if you do not plan to work for somebody else.
As an entrepreneur you need RELEVANT education not a generic outdated mambo-jumbo colleges provide. They only teach you what to think, not how to think. If those college teachers knew HOW to think, they would not be teaching in college. Just ask them how many are debt free and financially independent.
Like my mentor told me: The greatest financial risk a person can take in life is to work for somebody else and if you will do what you always do, think like you always think then you’ll get what you always get!
