Do not skip going to college. Most successful entrepreneurs went to college immediately after high school.
Going to college will give you access and exposure to a wide variety of jobs you may not have had access to.
Also, not everyone is cut out to be an entrepreneur. Its best to have a safety net in case your business doesnt work out.
You WILL die one day. You were not put on this planet to just sit on your a$$ and do nothing until you die. Life is not about not working, but working on things that get you excited, things you can be passionate about.The world is huge.You should never not be working. Even though Mj is retired, he's still working. Life is boring without progress.
There are no shortcuts in life. Go to college, get a degree, get a good paying job, and when you find an opportunity, jump on it.
You dont have to just be good at business. You can excel at everything: You can have excellent grades in school, excel in sports and hobbies, start a business, and have everything you want in life. There are many people who win in every aspect of life.
You don't have to be a millionaire to retire or have a fun,fuoffilling life.
Look at examples of highly successful entrepreneurs. Many of them were high achievers from a very young age.
Jeff Bezos was running a hedge fund at the age of 26 when he founded amazon. Peter Thiel , cofounder of PayPal and early investor of Facebook was a lawyer at the age of 23. They would have been successful without Amazon and Paypal respectively. Mark Zuckerberg, Steve Jobs and Bill Gates dropped out of college. They didnt just not go because they didnt feel like it, they dropped out because they knew their exact path and purpose and how they were going to impact the world. They had such an incredible drive and sense of urgency that they dropped out of school right away.Look at the Forbes 400. Most of them went to college with a few exceptions.
Working is better than doing nothing. You will not be young and healthy forever. If you are 18 reading this post, you only have 4383 days until you are 30. You dont have a second to waste. Every day, you should be studying, working, grinding and learning.
There are no shortcuts. To be wealthy, you have to work your a$$ off.
Dont start learning or working someday. Do it NOW. Any progress is better than doing nothing or thinking.
Even Kevin O'Leary shark tank entrepreneur who brags about not working for anyone after being fired from the ice cream shop credits a later internship with Nabisco that helped him achieve success with Softkey later down the line.
Never think, plan, or dream. Just start and start now.
Also, you are NOT better than anyone because you read The Millionaire Fastlane . Many people who read Mjs book end up becoming wantrepreneurs.
Anyway, if you want to be successful, be a high achiever and work your a$$ off at every aspect of your life. Anything you want in life can be achieved, but you have to go through the process. You have to work harder than anyone else. If you dont know what to do, its better to get a job than to do nothing. Any job is a good job because you get paid to learn.
Life is a big game! Enjoy your play time! You dont need to be rich ,successful, or an entrepreneur to be happy. Work your a$$ ff and be grateful for your life and every opportunity you have.
Even if college is not for you, you can always drop out and start again.
