The Education of Entrepreneurs in the world should be a country's Number One Priority

**Kristine Cherry** · 05-28-2009 01:48 AM

Just as "quiet women rarely make history", all the greatest inventions the world has ever known were made a reality by entrepreneurs such as Thomas Edison. Children entrepreneurs should be encouraged by their parents. Governments need to recognize that they are a nation's greatest asset. Schools should scrap the medieval business model of taking in youth and churning out assembly line workers who cannot adapt to changing economic times.

The key to success as an entrepreneur is to always be teachable, flexible and adapt the "CANI" model of "Constant and Never-ending Improvement".

The internet, blogs and forums can be a great source for these resources. I would encourage everyone struggling to achieve their entrepreneurial dream, to continue their education, commitment and passion to their cause. Those that break the mold will lead the world to a better place.

I couldn't agree with you more, Kristine. It baffles me that we don't teach our kids about business in school. The school system is so focused on standardize testing that they fail to give them practical skills that they can use once they are done with their formal education. What baffles me most is that almost every kid will become an employer or an employee, and yet they miss acquiring the skills.

I am glad you brought this topic up.

THANK YOU!

I've always said that there should be a subject called Entrepreneurship.

I'm the only person in my whole school that wants to be an entrepreneur, every other person says "Ah now, where will we find a job with the recession"?

Like honestly, people don't even consider it as an option... Where do they think the jobs come from!?
