Quotes
Almost everything I learned was while avoiding school and self-guiding my education. I’ve yet to meet the economics- finance major, that was my major, I’ve yet to meet the econ major who knows anything close to what I know about economics
If you’re going to be an entrepreneur, you have to know that it’s a complete lifestyle. It’s not a profession, it’s not a hobby. It’s a complete mindset. You’re going to think differently than 95% of people you meet out there, and that’s just how it is. I think entrepreneurs need to have an undying passion to be the best entrepreneur they can possibly be. They need to have a burning passion and need to change the world. Entrepreneurs are the type of people who are somehow born thinking about their legacy and what people will think when they’re gone. They are out there to prove to the world that their ideas and their actions alone can make the world a significantly better place. Anything less than that feeling, I think they’re going to be missing; I think it’s going to be impossible for them to hit the second most important thing for an entrepreneur, which is persistence. So if you don’t have that undying passion and that undying need to change the world – and you won’t stop until you do it – then I don’t think being an entrepreneur is for you
They’re very in touch with themselves and their desires and why they desire things and how to set up their lives in the future. They’re very forward thinking and very analytical of themselves.
Business is a real world activity that I think needs to be learned through experience and can’t be learned in the classroom and even if it was learned in the classroom, you still wouldn’t be under the pressure you would be if you were taking real entrepreneurial risks
if you know for sure you’re going to be an entrepreneur, and you’re going to start launching businesses, why wait 4 years?
Comments
I think the business, finance and economics courses don’t help an entrepreneur. I have a degree in chemistry/physics, and I’ve met many with econ and finance degrees. And like you said, they just rehash book material. Because, I’m a proprietary trader and have investment banking training, I knew more about economics and finance than those that majored in it. They hated me. All I can say is that I know more than him in 6 months than he learned during his entire 4 yrs. And, I don’t know anything. The stuff that I learned over the past 6 mos is b/c I had to learn it, and had to sift through all the information out there, and spend all my waking hours studying it and applying it. I think that a major in physics and philosophy is the best major for an entrepreneur. It’s b/c physics and philosophy teaches one how to THINK! How to problem solve
