The Wisdom Of Doing Something Small But Consistently Is Never Taught In School Or: Why Entrepreneurs Are Currently Born And Not Made

Entrepreneurs are currently born and not made Can it not be taught or is it just not currently taught? At the moment, school teaches you just the opposite of real life - that all energies should be focussed towards pulling a "one-off".  There is no consistent trying needed in school.

Everyone should try to set up their own business, just to have the learning opportunity to do it.  It does not need to make money - you can do it on the side of your day job or even on the side of formal learning, but you will learn how life actually works by doing this rather than guessing and watching from the side-lines.

What you will probably find is that your focus shifts from one thing to another in a way that is much unlike school.  In school, periods are set.  You have to spend as much time doing biology as you do mathematics, whether you are interested or good at it or not.  Most of school is merely a memory testing we usually remember what we like or are interested in most.

When learning something to set up a business, I have found that I have an intense period of learning, only in order to fulfil a specific need.  Once that task is done, if it is not repeated or cannot get better then I do not need to learn anymore.

Not sure which legal entity to start your business as?  Learn the pros and cons of each then pick one.  Job done.  Move on.  No need to do a four-year law or finance degree to understand this.  If you do - hire someone that can do it for you in an hour or so.

Learning what you need to know and then putting it into practice is not how we got taught at school.  Learning was its own end.  But putting things into practice, whether in action or in the mind (learning about bettering ourselves) is what really matters.

To those that dropped out of school and had to make their own way, you are luckier than you know.  Being good at school and then finding out that it doesn't matter takes years of adjusting to - if people manage it at all.
