You want your first million, take it. But how is the question on many young entrepreneurs we meet today. Let’s take facebook, Mark Zuckerberg developed this program from his dorm room at Harvard in 2004 and now he is a 26 year old hot shot. He recently donated $100 million to a school district in Newark, NJ. God knows they needed it but comon, I wish I could donate $100 million to any organization. The point is I will, one day. If you want it than GO GET IT. The only thing holding you back from doing what you want in life is yourself. You need to take your vision, smarts and determination and created an opportunity for yourself to grow, add in a little bit of luck, and your now up there with Mr. Gates. Juliette Brindak is a name most of you do not know, but her online company MissOandFriends.com had an estimated value of $15 million when she was only 19! Juliette along with many other entrepreneurs say the same thing, once you have your idea, stick with it. If someone involved doesn’t devote their hear to the idea than it most likely wont be a success. So get up and do it, make a milli, I will….
Your gonna need a lot more Georges. All it takes is one Idea.
ReplyDeleteThe trick is finding something you are very passionate about. Do they teach classes at Queens for the inspired entrepreneur? They do at CPCC. If you have a business idea, they will help you to realize it. Maybe even find "angel money." Good luck to you!
ReplyDeleteyea they do, its called Entrepreneurship, and its with Chuck Bamford...one of the best teachers at Queens so i suggest to anyone TAKE THAT CLASS....theres no way a book can teach entrepreneurship but Chucks knowledge and experience will wow you!
ReplyDeleteI think this is a good point. The only thing holding us back from making it rich is ourselves. I think fears and doubts in ourselves can prevent us from pushing ourselves and making those valuable connections.
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree with you Scott. Sometimes people limit themselves by making goals seem out of reach. We each possess many of the same traits as these young people who have amazing success stories. Though it may sound cliche, the sky really is the limit. I know for sure I'm not limiting myself by any means...have to be a go-getter!
