Depends. If you're willing to take losses / start slow / work on it in your spare time while holding down another paid job (or are being supported, e.g. a married couple) AND you have a good original product / idea... then with hard work it'll build over a few years into something profitable.
If you're expecting to jump in feet first and make a self-employed living, almost impossible.
UNLESS it's a skilled trade that's in demand and you get certified and some experience (e.g. plumbing and gas engineering, electrician etc.). Or even things that don't need certifying if you happen to be skilled at them (carpet and laminate laying, tiling, plastering etc.). It should be relatively possible to make a living with your own business then, if you're
good at it and with good word of mouth.
