Midweek Motivation

Perusing through the internet the other day (I was on twitter), I saw a link pointing to what I remember as something along the lines off “10 millionaires without college degrees.” Naturally I’m intrigued by this.  With a headline like that I can’t help but ask the age old question of whether formal education is necessary or are life experiences the best teacher?  Personally, I think there’s no one answer is correct. You just have to figure out what works for you and what you’re trying to do with your life, but that’s for us to talk about another day (feel free to share your opinions though).

Back to the motivation....while the link to the list was loading I was expecting to see the likes of Bill Gates on this list but I was pleasantly surprised by the list and the fresh faces on it. Most of whom I hadn’t seen or heard of before.

Here are some common themes in all their stories.

• Failures didn’t stop them. It just made them find another way to get it done.
  
• Originality and creativity. They all created something unique. Key operating word here being “created” and what they created was original.
  
• They continue to raise the bar. Success hasn’t made them complacent. In all their stories, they’re still striving for more in the same or other avenues.
  
• Age doesn’t matter. You could be young or your could be old, that should never govern your decision making when it comes to entrepreneurship.
