This is why I keep pounding fundamentals and marketing into everyone's head. Learn this shi.t because you will not get your hands on it in ANY school and you'll be able to use it for the rest of your lives.
Hell, I quit school in 9th grade because I saw the conditioning for what it was - best thing I ever did. You can be a slave to society or you can free your mind and build your own paths.
Ever notice how many entrepreneurs have walked away from school? That alone speaks volumes.
Not condoning it. I realize everyone is different and some people need that guidance, conditioning, and programming. I'm all for self education.
(And before anyone bashes me, I'm not saying all education is bad.)
I have to put my two cents in on this topic.
First, NC, I'm loving the fact that you're posting stuff from Jay Abraham. This will definitely help out others.
Here's why I say this.
I'm 43 (though I look 10 years younger LOL), and I also dropped out of college. I didn't find it challenging enough, and I wanted more hands on business experience as opposed to textbook. That move was the best thing I ever did.
Along the way, I've read many books from Jay Abraham at the recommendation of others, as I wanted to work smart, not hard. Though hard work and dedication played a part in the successes.
Currently, I operate 11 successful businesses. Yeah, I'm busy, but having practical guides to help along the way made the process much easier and FUN !
For the non believers out here, this isn't some shameless plug. Jay Abraham knows his stuff, and I'm living proof.
How so? Well, I made my first $mil when I was 26, and a big part of making that money was from reading and understanding what JA was talking about. He puts things in simple relative terms that anyone can apply to their business.
So, for anyone wanting to bring their business to the next level, or even just extra spending cash, whatever you choose, you should definitely read anything from JA. Read it, understand it, and apply it.
Hey, it worked for me :-)
Another thing ... Education is important, but in the real world, experience is what wins the fight, not textbook theory.
