Hello there,
I am 15 years old, and I consider myself to be far from average. My grades are good, and from a quick glance I might seem to be just like any other teen, but I have my own agenda.
I want to be a businessman - a SUCCESSFUL businessman.
I've already achieved a level of success with my business. I've taken it from $0 monthly income to $1,500 monthly income over the last 6 months. I believe that I can take it to $3,000 monthly within a year from now, and $6,000 within 3 years.
I'm wondering whether I should focus on school or my business. Looking for some perspectives from the outside, rather than just those of my middle class parents. I don't want to be normal... I have HIGH goals for myself, and don't see any value in most of the stuff I'm learning in school.
I feel as though I could manage to do OK in school and to still do well in business, but I just think that I could do so much better if I focused my efforts toward my business. Of course, I don't plan to focus exclusively on my business and to abandon high school outright, but rather to just spend less time on pointless busywork that'll never push me into closer alignment with my goals and to instead focus it on my business.
To be clear, my question is:
1.) Do you think a student (10th grade) should focus on school if they have the opportunity to create a good business?
2.) What did you personally take away from high school, other than a diploma?
