    1.) An obvious no
    2.) you cannot teach until you learn something to teach
    3.) build on what you know now
    4.) Based on your ability

    I had my own Sales & Marketing business for about five years but I was in my thirties at the time and had work experience in wholesaling (7 years) and retail (10 years). It is hard to start something like this without some sort of experience or education in this field.

    If you are good with people, know when to keep your mouth shut and listen, and when to step up and tell clients what they need to know, then you might have a chance.

    Marketing – what do you want to sell? Marketing is wide and varied, it depends what type of marketing is within your field of “expertise”.

    Consulting – What do you want to advise? Consulting is also wide and varied. Basically, you work on commission or a fixed hourly rate agreed upon by you and your employer or client. You have no employee workers rights as a Consultant is self-employed person.

    Coaching – What do you want to train? You don’t need any special Degrees but it would be better to have at least a short course Certificate in the field you choose. If you want to coach or be a personal trainer in the health field, you will need a First Aid Certificate as you will be with other people under your care.

    You could just pick one of the three and put all you efforts into that for 3 years before adding the next Category. Go do a short course and get some knowledge about the field.
