Flush the Toilet: Young Entrepreneurs

So you’re in college and looking for a job or maybe you recently graduated and it’s time to join the workforce (unless you’re already making some major bucks from your business). Now, what type of company should you work at? Well, as an entrepreneur you should be seeking a company that is entrepreneurial-minded.

Nowadays, you have people with English majors working on Wall Street, so don’t feel restricted from getting a certain job because you think that your degree isn’t suitable –well, in some cases it won’t be – but in the world of business you’d be surprised what jobs you can find with any degree.

Look for companies that believe in the letting their employees imagine, create, and explore all possibilities with every project and assignment. Companies that understand entrepreneurs and give them a lot of room to grow and be independent – they must respect you as an entrepreneur and not treat you like a sheep! If they don’t, then get out of there (quickly).

Please, please, please remember not to have money in the back of your mind (at least don’t it let be the only thing, ok). Your goal should to get a job that’ll benefit you experience-wise, a job where you can build a ton of contacts, really learn how to build a business, and a place where you can interact with a bunch of really successful people.

If you’re looking for a job and are only thinking about the size of the paycheck and forgetting about your future success as an entrepreneur, then get ready to stay there for 40 years and you can forget about starting a successful business one day, just wont happen buddy.

“Being comfortable” is poisonous to the entrepreneur.

Be smart. Strategically plant yourself in a pool of success and brilliance – a breeding ground for entrepreneurs. It’ll payoff, you’ll see.
