> I have no connections.

Well, you're here so that means you are able to contact a lot of people that do have connections, and that's probably almost as good.

> I don't even know any entrepreneurs, but I wish I did.

Lots of those around here.

> I have a fair amount of capital to start with

Hold on to it until you are sure something has legs

> I have no skills

That is a bigger problem. What interests you? Are there skills associated with that that you might want to learn?

> learn a something from someone who owns a business

So go to work for someone that owns a business!

First I'd like to thank everyone for their comments. I forgot to mention the most important part.

I'd like to start a middle man business nothing in the service industry like most types of businesses, basically buying something in bulk and distributing to places. I know what I'd chose but I'm sure there are other types of things that I can distribute..I don't know what though.Also need more resources and connections, and I have no access to that. What are some things that I can buy and sell in bulk?

>Well, you're here so that means you are able to contact a lot of people that do have connections, and that's probably almost as good.

This is exactly what I'm here, I know this place is a host to some highly intelligent and successful people. In fact, I'd be glad to help someone for free just to see what they do and how things work. However, I believe most people run software/website type of business, which is something I'm highly interested in. I have no one that is even remotely close to "tech savvy" to own something like this

>What interests you? Are there skills associated with that that you might want to learn? I have skills I think, but I don't know what they're pertinent to because I don't know the opportunities are.

>So go to work for someone that owns a business! I guess I'll just go to those office complexes and ask? Would that be a good idea? Or if anyone here would like to show me what they do I'd be glad to help for free.
