Some even have the capital only through word of mouth and started with commissions until they have developed a system. It all it takes is some guts, a few capital to none and a simple plan. Just follow what the famous trademark of Nike is, 'just do it'.

It boils down to that.
Worth mentioning is that alone its way harder to raise.
Have a team, many start ups are friends who had the idea and the willpower.
The business plan on a start up is necessary to raise capital.

Yes, I have seen startups that started with the power of friendship and commitments until they've made it an empire.

This is not what others don't understand. They think that they should start with such a huge capital to start a business but most of the successful ones didn't even have a huge capital to begin with. Some even have the capital only through word of mouth and started with commissions until they have developed a system. It all it takes is some guts, a few capital to none and a simple plan. Just follow what the famous trademark of Nike is, 'just do it'.

Having a huge capital might make you not to make it in business. Businesses needs determination and when that comes is when you have nothing because you'll try all the means you have to get something for yourself. Your business needs hunger, it needs you to want to achieve everything. Don't go into a business because you see others doing it, that mightn't be what's meant for you because you won't have a breakthrough in the business.

We can just do it but it should be something we have passion for because starting a business and keeping it running for many years isn't easy. Sometimes, you won't have any sales for many days or weeks and you will want to give up because your business isn't progressing but you won't want to give up when you're in the right business that you have passion for.

That is correct. Others get into businesses because they think that it's profitable as seen with the others. But if you have no passion, no problems to solve and no determination, you better think of it many times before committing into it. Business is not as easy as what people think.
