This is far outside the norm, in my experience. At least for people under 30. Maybe seasoned business savvy professionals who start later are different.
But I've had to do a LOT of coaching whenever a friend starts freelancing. Even basic stuff like "a separate card for business expenses can simplify your life"
And these people usually do well. It's just that most people have no clue about even basic business stuff, and nor do their families or social networks, so no one tells them.
Did you have experience in a company, or a friend relative who had told you about business before?
