The clearest path to entrepreneurship is starting and running a business - e.g. mowing lawns, selling tee shirts, etc. The blunt truth is it also helps to come from wealth and have entrepreneurs in the family tree.

That's not to say that there are not other paths, but entrepreneurship works well in the Bill Gates model - he and Allen were in the software business in high school.

A business which fell out of their passion for programming. If Gates had followed the money as a teenager, he probably would have gone into the family business - law.

Good luck.
