Graduating and Becoming Entrepreneurs

 So this week proved to be one of the hardest weeks as Aspiring Entrepreneurs. The drive to make as much money as possible and still get an education seemed harder than we thought it would be. However we managed to get through it, and our journey still continues...

'Hell week' so as we called it got me thinking. I know one may think its a silly thought, but I was just thinking, and feel free to comment on the subject. All this hard work we are going through in order to gain a diploma to become entrepreneurs, is it really necessary? Just think about it, some of the most successful entrepreneurs didn't go through all the hassle we are going through to get an education to back up their entrepreneurial skills like we are, for example Bill Gates. Are we really not just wasting our time furthering our education instead of just leaping into the big world and starting up our businesses, and making what is sought by so many, $$$$$$.

My mother would kill me if she saw me writing this, but I mean think about it, isn't being an entrepreneur a state of mind, something that cannot be taught. Isn't it an inner drive from within, having an idea that can change peoples lives in many ways. So why must we learn finance and marketing and other courses to act on this idea, why not just embark on your dreams and hire a financial director and marketing director to be in charge of those areas in your firm. I mean think about it, your PA or secretary will probably do all your written reports for you, so really all you need to do as an entrepreneur is have an idea, act on it, and employ people to help you keep the business going. Your job as an entrepreneur is to keep coming up with innovative ideas and be a good leader (and sign the cheques of course, lol). So do we really need school to become successful Entrepreneurs?

I guess we do, because without the knowledge we wouldn't be able to check if our business is being run well or not, and as my mother always says in order to lead you need to be able to do what the the people you are leading are doing, and lets face it, without school knowledge you have to be real bright to do this. So I guess graduating and school is important to be a successful entrepreneur.

That's all from me
