The Value Of A College Education

If you are like me, we grew up hearing how important an education is. Then we got one and what good did it really turn out to be? It makes some difference but not enough as far as I'm concerned. Now that I'm an entrepreneur, I have an entirely different mindset. Education is for obtaining wisdom and learning things that you enjoy. A real education has nothing to do with writing papers to please a professor's point of view.

The company I work with, Liberty League International, was started by 2 guys without a college education. One was a drummer and the other a car stereo installer! What they did have was determination and optimism. They have obtained a tremendous education along the way - primarily in business and personal development. My colleagues here read more books and remember what they read more than anyone I ever worked with in corporate America.

I became an entrepreneur because I realized that corporate America had no interest in my financial well-being. It actually had no interest in any aspect of my well-being. Rather than lament that it took me so long to wake up, I am grateful that I woke up before waiting another minute.

I encourage you to read the column by Walter Williams. If you believe that it is time for you take charge of your own life, call me. I will assist you in taking the same amazing steps that I did. Ours really is an amazingly simple business.

To Your Success,
