Why You Need To Drop Out Of College & Make a Million Dollar

…Or a billion dollar or better, have start your own business and channel your passion to help other and create a cash cow for yourself that you always wanted to. I’m a college student and the best thing about being in a college is not only the knowledge you gain but also, you get to be around all types of people – I call this ‘being psychologically updated’. I roam around in campus and see a lot of students and professors with that work-load thingy on their faces. They are all busy doing something…busy folks…and the worst part is, they don’t even know why they are doing what they are doing.

So today I saw this irritated girl making notes of something (yea right, something) and I asked her, “why you doing this?” and her reply was “because the professor said it’ll help” and I was like #facepalm! She was doing something she didn’t like but was doing it because someone told her that “it’ll help”. She was living the life of someone else, someone who she wasn’t and not even bothered about what else she could do, how better she could be. I could tell that from her appearance and the way she talked – I know these kind of people…so much of potential and so little fearlessness.

I do things that I love to do. I have a business online because that is my passion and I enjoy doing that, I joined a college because I wanted to experience it and I could drop out of it the day I’m done with it. Think about what you are doing and is this what you really are and is this where you can really pour in your potential properly? If not, go though these 5 points:

1) Find Your Passion & Dig Out That Idea

Take some time out for yourself and think about what you are exactly doing. Roll back to the high school days and recall what you loved to do and think about it. Write it down! Try to bring back that excitement and energy in you because this is going to help you a lot. Try and turn your passion into a product or a service that you can offer to people. Make sure that your product or your service does solves a real life problem and people would be interested in at least trying it. 

2) Start Small But START

I often come across a lot of interviews or a stories about young entrepreneurs who just made their first million dollar and how much the world is happy for them. Everyone gets so inspired that they quit everything and start pushing themselves into something they don’t even know about. You need to stop seeing the ‘AFTER’ version of their life. There is this one this which is common in all these success stories of young entrepreneurs, they all started small. Start small and focus on the primary aspects of your business such as customer support, product improvement and social media buzz.

3) Create a Journal & Have a Plan

It doesn’t really matters if you have your journals are written on McD napkins or on a neat notebook with silky pages or on your blog, the point is to write it. It keeps you focused and lets you keep track of what you are doing. Also, have a plan – a business plan that is. A business plan, no matter how newbie-ish it is, lets you focus on the key pieces of your business instead of learning them the hard way. This isn’t a time consuming process. You can have both of this done in 30 minutes and that would be the best 30 minutes of your life.

4) Network With People Like You

And the word of the decade is “Social” and if you are good at it, you have almost everything you would ever need to get going. Being able to socialize, network and get along with others is the key to your business. If you are with a bunch of probable clients, it’s all about your persuasion skills. Persuade them to try your product/service and leave the rest on the product/service. From my personal experience of the people, there are some people who are born with this talent but then there are those people who hire these people to get their stuff done, that kinda out-of-the-box working.

5) Take That Risk

Get up, get going…take that one small decision that has been holding you back. I attended a seminar on “Entrepreneurship” and some defined an entrepreneur as, “a person who takes risks, makes decisions that others can’t and is a survivor”. You need to be THIS person if you ever dream of being anything big. The key to a proper risk is to recognize the right time to take it…it’s all about how well and how timely you hit it.
