There are 3 ways to become a businessman; you either become an inventor, an investor or an innovator. An inventor is someone who makes something new out of creation. An innovator is someone who improves on something that already exist, either a product or a service. While an investor is the person put money in an existing successful business.

The question is can everyone do business? I heard that entrepreneurs are born with certain qualities and if you don’t have those qualities, you cannot be one. What a fallacious statement. Any ordinary person can become an entrepreneur. You could become self employed, go into partnership, invest in a franchise, buy an existing business, launch a new service or improve on an existing one. You could rent an office, get a shop, a kiosk, and work from home, set up a website or a showroom. You could work on your own, work in a team or a play a middle man between a buyer and seller. You can setup a tiny or retail outfit to target a particular market or a big company to target the mass market. This is what entrepreneurship is about.
