@sample042,
Thanks for starting a topic that would benefit many people.I believe that to build up strong entrepreneurship foundation/skills, you need first to believe in yourself.You need to believe that God has truly deposited in you great talents that could be tapped to take you to any height you desire in life.

Secondly, you need to learn from those who have trodden the path you now aspire to tread.You should be ready to learn these entrepreneurship skills.These skills include those of perseverance (i.e stick-to-it skills),financing skills, research skills, production skills, marketing and selling skills,communication skills and a host of others.Unfortunately, few of these skills are taught in our schools today.So, even after graduating from the university,you need to empower yourself by reading wide, reading entrepreneurship materials, attending free and paid business seminars,listening to motivational or inspirational tapes, searching for places where these skills are being imparted,joining forums like nairaland and a host of others where you freely pick up ideas like those being discussed now.

In addition, you need to put into practice ideas you have gathered along the way and to pray to God.
You NEED NOT look for any get-rich schemes.You need to be careful so that negative environment and negative people around you do not influence you negatively.

Developing entrepreneurship skills is not a day's job. It is an on-going process.Even the Dangotes and Bill Gates of this world are still learning.We all keep learning till death do us part.

GOODLUCK.
