I was giving a speech the other day at TCU on the seven keys to entrepreneurship, the bootstrap method. Afterwards I was thinking the seven keys of bootstrapping also apply to college and success in school. Some of you may be scratching your head now and wondering what starting a company and going to school have in common?
School is an entrepreneurial experience, you are taking the time to organize, manage, and invest time and money while assuming the risk for your education. It is also an experience that many have to partake in without the necessary funds (bootstrapping).
Your education is what you make of the situation. It will be your business for the next four years or so. How successful you are at school depends on how well you run your company (yourself). Think about your school as your own private company. Are you spending wisely and are you making wise choices concerning your product (you) and your market (instructors and classes)? Remember the customer (instructors) is always right; they are the ones who will pay or grade your product.
Look for the November Newsletter where I'll be sharing more about the seven keys for college success.
I am the round man, with the square deal!
