Apprenticeship
For;centuries,;apprenticing;with;a;mas-ter has been the method used by the
wealthy to produce leaders. One-on-one;training;provides;tailored;instruc-tion and instant feedback. However, in
our;fast-paced;society,;finding;qualified,
wise, trustworthy mentors is a difficult
task. The worst risk is that of submitting
to an unsuitable mentor. Make sure the
mentor;you;choose;is;a;person;of;char-acter. Apprenticeship also can be ex-pensive;and;may;include;travel;or;living
away from home.
Start a Business
Many successful business owners never
went to college, and some didn’t even
graduate;from;high;school.;They;simply
had an idea, wanted the freedom to work
for themselves, and decided to pursue
their own career education.
It;often;takes;two;to;ten;years;to;estab-lish a successful business. If that is your
goal,;start;early.;Start;when;you;are;16;or
18,;and;you;could;have;a;healthy;six-fig-
ure;income;by;age;20;or;22.;Then,;if;you
decide;to;go;to;college,;pay;for;it;your-self;and;choose;your;courses;to;benefit
your business.
The disadvantages of starting your
own business are many. Most people
have;not;been;trained;to;think;entrepre-neurially, so the initial challenge begins
with establishing a correct mindset. An
entrepreneur;must;be;able;to;make;big
decisions rather quickly and then take
responsibility;for;the;outcome,;whether
positive;or;negative.;Unfortunately,;most
high;school;students;haven’t;been;given
this;type;of;training.
The goal of traditional education is to
produce;obedient;employees,;not;lead-ers and thinkers who are skilled at solv-ing;problems.;The;way students are edu-cated;is;just;as;important;as;the;subjects
they study.
Another disadvantage of starting a
business;is;the;financial;investment;re-
quired.;Having;the;financial;and;emo-
tional;support;of;the;family;during;the
foundational;phase;is;advantageous.;Be-
cause technology has recently changed
society,;it;is;entirely;possible;to;build;a
successful business—using your gifts
and;talents—to;support;your;family;and
minister to the needs of others, within a
relatively short time.
Two Options for Starting
a Business
1.;Start from scratch and build it
yourself.
2.;Buy;a;system.
Systems Provide a Shortcut
Franchises offer proven products with
proven systems. The parent company
also;provides;education;and;often,;sup-port.;However,;the;costs;involved;with
purchasing and managing a franchise
often;prohibit;the;average;family;from
pursuing this option. If you love the
franchise;concept,;build;a;business;that
you;can;eventually;offer;as;a;franchise.
Network marketing companies also
offer;proven;products;with;proven;sys-tems,;along;with;education;and;support,
and they usually require less financial
investment and give distributors more
freedom. The secret to making this
model;work;is;finding;an;essential;prod-uct that you love, as well as one that has
a strong market.
If;a;committed;entrepreneur;wants;to
create;financial;freedom;with;a;business
of his own and is willing to work diligent-ly;at;it,;he;can;easily;earn;a;six-figure;in-come within the same time frame that it
takes his college friends to earn their di-plomas.;If;your;desire;is;to;be;financially
secure and generate income that not only
provides;for;your;family;and;helps;those
around;you;but;also;supports;the;causes
you believe in, you will have to learn to
work for yourself. To do that requires
that you learn to think, act, and educate
yourself;differently.
