    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.

    It would be more cost effective to get an education as opposed to hiring someone to "teach you".

    Many of my professors in my undergrad were very experienced people with 20-30 years as successful CEOs. There is a lot of wisdom in schools. There is also a lot of wisdom to be gained from just pure experience as well and making mistakes

    My #1 suggestion is find a very good coach/leader and learn from them. The most successful are always willing (Time Permitted) to be a mentor to other business leaders. Also visit www.score.com & your local SBA organizations they have many free counselors to help you. But success is from within it can't be taught or received through a diploma.

    Well that's simple. Just fail your way to success.

    Here's your first task, start a business.

    Have questions? Ask us.
    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.
