Getting an education is one place to start if you don't have a natural "nack" for it.

You've got two options: Experience or Education....

That is what we call "school".... pay people to teach you things you don't know.

dude, stop being a flake

try to get into http://stvp.stanford.edu/

or enroll with another entrepreneurship centre

you can't pay anybody to learn anything

you have to be humble enough to have a person be interested in teaching you

One thing for certain. Start young, what ever you do. I started learning after college and then implementing after a few years of work. And definately before getting married that slowed me down quite a bit. So, if I had to do it all over again I would start my journey sooner

As for education or having an mentor, I think it definately helps but the mistakes you make along the way are the most valuable lessons. So make it while you are young and have little money. It is almost a prerequisit for success, I think.

Be humble first.

As you are willing to pay, they may not be willing to teach. Most successful businessman are willing to impart their experiences and knowledge. But they do not need your money.

They want a student who is open and humble.
