College Days and Entrepreneurship
Most people will not agree to the idea of a college student even thinking about starting a company as there are many more important things in a student’s life to focus. The notion of getting a college degree and then thinking about doing a job or starting a company is the accepted norm.
Entrepreneurs way is to hold on their belief and realize that the best time to start something new and gain experience is NOW.
Facing naysayers and advises that it’s not a good time to start a company, you need to have more money or knowledge and experience . In spite of this, entrepreneurs way is to hold on their belief and realize that the best time to start something new and gain experience is NOW. This belief is due to various reasons.
College Professors can be Mentors:
People start companies and approach consultants by paying hefty fees. Why not seek help and guidance from the capable college professors and teachers who already know your strengths and will give you the most relevant information without charging a penny?
Doing Good to Your Image:
There is much more appreciation when a college student does something great and breaks the notion of the younger generation being lazy. I got many accolades and press coverage for having formed a successful company at such a young age.
Free marketing from Trusted Sources:
In the initial phase, marketing of your company will be done by peers. Your friends can spread the good words to their friends and family which grew your business. College students are addicted to social media and free publicity on social media platforms by the students helped create awareness of the brand at a national level.
You are free of many things that may interrupt you in future:
College days are relatively free days in terms of worries and responsibilities. Making constructive use of the time and bandwidth is the best bet. Investing one’s energy, creative instincts and finances into starting a company completely makes sense.
Create Lifelong Experiences:
Coming out of one’s comfort zone requires grit and determination. Never be afraid of failures in your business venture. After all, failures do create experiences and help one to grow as an individual and prepare for bigger things in life.
There are lots of resources and possibilities to tap into when you are a student to start entrepreneurship from college. No time is better that college and university time to choose the learnerpreneur path and become a learning entrepreneur.
