"If a high school drop-out with nothing but a typing diploma could do it, so can you."

I want to believe it, but not necessarily true. We all have different abilities. The author is very talented and has acquired (and/or was born with) the ability to do business.

On the other hand, there is no way of really knowing, unless you try.

You are right, that sentence should have said: "If a high school drop-out with nothing but a typing diploma could do it, you can at least try too."
