If the traditional college does not 'float your boat', what now?

Are you a lost cause?

Oh NO, not by the longest yard!

Some entrepreneurs didn’t have the proper or the formal educational background and yet they've become successful in their chosen field.

The fact is, there are many successful entrepreneurs without the 'normal' business education.

How many times have you heard of an entrepreneur who started from scratch and yet ended up having a high-profit earning business?

Perhaps there's more to just education.

You see, aside from education, you have to possess the right qualities and characteristics of being an entrepreneur like:

  • leadership
  • innovativeness
  • creativeness
  • risk taker
  • and a few others.

Even if you have the proper educational background, you can't become a successful entrepreneur if you don’t have these qualities and characteristics.

It seems that education and the right characteristics go hand in hand in producing an effective and successful entrepreneur. If you can have them both, take advantage of it right away.

Education is something that money can't buy in an instant and besides, you can use your knowledge for the best interests of your business.

AND that leads me to the option that you and I are using right now.

Thanks for your interesting post and training Michelle. Although a degree is extremely helpful, it is not necessarily a requirement. I believe it is the drive and pure determination that one must possess to be a successful entrepreneur. Here are some examples of Determined Entrepreneurs:
Bill Gates - Microsoft - 2 yrs Harvard
Michael Dell - Dell - 1 yr Univ. of Tx
Steve Jobs - Apple - 1 semester - Reed College
Mark Zuckerberg - Facebook -2 yr Harvard
Thomas Edison - Inventor - 3 mo. high School
Wright Brothers - Inventors - Did not graduate High School.

Thanks again Michelle,
Jerome

You can never go wrong with education, even if you can't afford University or College's, you can work and swot / study part time, on the end you will be a success.
