You're best bet is to first get educated, i.e, get a Liberal Arts/Science degree.
Actually having an education and the ability to think and learn will give you the greatest success and enjoyment in life in the long run. You can always go for an MBA after that if you want some business education, but most executives learn from experience on the job and this takes
many years. Most executives I know DO NOT have Business Degrees for their undergraduate. Only accountants, bookkeepers, people like that will have an business accounting/finance degree.
