    difficult questions that im having trouble with

    Im having trouble answering these questions myself so i am seeking advice from other young entrepreneurs.
    Do yall have goals for the long term future meaning can you see yourself running a specific business. Or are you hoping that the one of the many business you create will be succesful but do not see what your career will be in the future.

    One of my family members brought up a good point a few days ago.
    If your going to be an entrepreneur what are you going to business school for? why waist time and money just to get a degree when you can start your career now and you Know what you want to be does not need a degree.

    What are some of yalls reason for going to college. I told myself and my family members that i will go to college to learn about sales, marketing, and entrepreneurship but if you have business experience and self educate yourself will the classes really be worth it.

    learning from somebody else is always worth it.

    You are a product of your thoughts so choose your thoughts wisely. I can happily say I am a product of what I thought a year ago - almost down to the letter, its actually kind of strange..

    Your family member is right. If you want to learn about sales get a job in sales - I have held quite a few and have learned sales techniques from some really damn good salesmen. This is something school cant teach you, you need field experience.

    I never went to college, but it would be good for marketing if you can´t pick up a book on marketing a read it yourself.

    I have had plenty of failed business ventures, but the ones that succeed you can hold on to for a long long time.
    If you want to be rich, sell products and services.
    If you want to be insanely rich, create and control markets.
    I must create a system or be enslaved by another mans; I will not reason and compare: my business is to create.
