Re: The 5 Things I’d Tell My 21 Year Old Entrepreneurial Self

I'm 21 and am actually about to start college in the spring to pursue a business degree. Even though I know you can learn a lot from it and meet many people with the same goals and views like us entrepreneurs. I still can't shake this feeling in my stomach that school isn't the right place for me. Like I should be giving my undivided attention to creating that dream idea I have somewhere in my brain that I just haven't discovered yet. But I fear that I may never discover it and I will end up 30 years old with no education beyond high school and having accomplished nothing with a career. An entrepreneur is all I have ever wanted to be and it is all I plan on ever being. I want to live and breath it and create my own world and not let some asshole tell me what I'm worth. I know my abilities and I know the potential I have. I'm just unsure of which way to go....

Re: What Really Keeps Poor People Poor

Good article man.
While I agree entirely with what you have written, it may be good to look even further in to the problem.
Isolation from such networks is much of the problem, however the fact that these networks even exist is a massive problem.
Perhaps its these very networks that work hard to keep its own exclusiveness in tact and the poor at a safe and profitable distance.
Its not like these networks are making great efforts to reach out and help improve the situation of the world around them.
Are the elite scared that thier positions may become diluted to the point of social equality?
Sure, loads of poor people are where they are due to consiquence of choice although for many, many poor people who are desperately trying to better thier situation, its a very different story.

Building a go-getter mentality will move you ahead, not too many people have it in them. Good news, you can learn with due time and change your world.

I'm 20,....and it's been quite some time now that I'm having some real difficulty in figuring out what I should do in life. I want to be a successful entrepreneur and improve people's lives. But I still have no idea how I will. This article was a great article one reason being; you are an experienced person and spoke the truth.
I hope these insights will be helpful in my near future :)

I've been on the fence on starting a business. I am currently 20 and in college. It's articles like these that make me want to go for it.

A steaming waste of a blurb about those "poor, disadvantaged youths." The right network only goes so far when your IQ refuses to catch up. Stick to relevant posts and leave the looney toon liberal hogwash aside. Truly intelligent people don't care.

Jesus fucking Christ, STOP writing "she" instead of "he," you fucking cultural Marxist imbecile. It's incredibly disconcerting and makes the reader constantly have to pause and ask himself, "Who is 'she'?" The notion that any one random human female may somehow feel "excluded" upon sighting a masculine pronoun is so absurd, only P.C. dunces could ever have a sufficient disconnect with reality to believe it.

So much for education.

Thank you so much for the advice! I'm currently 20 years old, currently working as a wedding/bridal consultant in downtown from where I am. My passion is bridal which motivated me to apply when I was 19 to put myself out there and see what happens. I will be finishing Human resources by end of 2014. Then 2015 I will be applying to be a certified wedding planner. I plan to own my own bridal shop one day. Reading your article inspired me to push forward and educate myself more to become a true entrepreneur. Thank you!

It's been almost 2 years since you started using Asana.
What are you using it for now?
Templates? CRM?
We mostly use Asana for defining and tracking features and bugs.

I typed in "I am 21 what should I be doing in my life"
this article was a pleasant surprise. Ive managed to get myself to what I thought was "what I want" out of a job, with being a manager of a popular hotel at only 21... only to find im miserable...
I know I need to fly...and I have little spurts of gut to quit my job and just go anywhere...after reading this I realize only I can hold me back, and only I can let me go... Thank you

There seems to be a lot of innovation in the higher education space in the US. For example, Barack Obama's State of the Union Address that referred to alternative methods of accreditation, and some institutions (such as Southern New Hampshire University) evolving forms of competency-based education. It will be interesting to see the knock on effects that these developments have globally.
