Three pieces of advice!

I was asked: "What three pieces of advice would you give to college students who want to become entrepreneurs"?

Dreams are acheavable. Know thyself, put yourself through everything so that events don’t scare you, ondue expectations create the problems because you have developed preconseived ideas about the business and the world of people. If you venture into things see it for what it is and don’t cloud yourself with emotions. 

As a youth you have a lot of energy, spend it, have no pity on yourself or you will remain a boring old hag and nag about how life isnt good enough. Collaborate with your peers and those older and younger than you while in university and outside of it because those are your future partners, staff, suppliers, future political leaders. Get yourself known, but for the right reasons, no one likes fake ie those who project what they aren't prepared to handle. 

Start a project before you leave school so that when an employer asks about you you will have something to say other than you wasted your time, as that would reflect on how seriously you took your life. Don’t forget that your hobbies also develop skills that will give you additional pay, such as having a voice would mean you can record a company sountrack, dancing makes you a good team leader / HR speaker, sports give you skills in strategic thinking and develops discipline " a focused mind towards achieving a goal". All these are transferable skills helpful to the business environment. If you are a good support to your employer you will be able to attract same type of people as staff, suppliers, partners and investors because people first connect to like minds before they can collectively solve problems. Learn the skills of communication first. Know all forms of communication and find their appropriate tools.

Your philosophy of life translates to the actions you use in managing a business and working with people.

Ignite your dreams.
