It’s Almost Winter Break: Start Your Business!
How can I forget Jan 1 2004, the day when I finally decided that I wanted to become an internet entrepreneur. Just the winter before I remembered asking my friend Colin, “how do you build a website?” A year later, there I was, thinking of how I could build my first online business – a day that sparked my journey to become a successful entrepreneur!
So for those of you college entrepreneurs who’ve been itching to start a business but simply haven’t because of the tremendous workload from this current semester, well now you’ll have no excuses because winter break is right around the corner.
You’ll be off of school for about a month and that’s plenty of time to get the wheels rollin’ on starting that company of yours. Sure, make sure to have fun and spend time with your family while you’re free from the chains of school work and professors shoving exams down your throat, but also make a REAL effort to start putting your ideas into action.
You can’t even begin to image how happy I was last year during winter break. I came home after that semester – my last semester at college – and knew that I wouldn’t have to go back to college anymore, I finally graduated and it felt great!
Sure, I had fun while attending college and met some lifelong friends… but for many of us who are deep into our business want to get out of school ASAP and start running their businesses full-time, not in between classes.
That’s why it’s so important not to waste your winter break. Use the time to party hard, but to also work hard! You’d be surprised on how much you can accomplish during your break. You can lay the foundation to your business and even prepare to launch something for the upcoming semester if your business is college-oriented such as mine.
