All one needs to start with is DESIRE!

Here is a response to a question I answered:

Rose writes, "You do not need a degree to be a consultant and you don't need
a degree to start your own business.  The one thing that one truly only needs
is desire and that's how I started - with a desire."

No, you don't need a college degree but it sure helps.  In today's complex
and competitve marketplace desire is not a substitute for knowledge.

And here is my reply to the response:

Of course having a degree helps but not everyone who has started a business had a degree.  People don't want to go to college or can't afford to go.

Desire may not be suitable but it is all that one really needs to get started.
