Today we are answering the question on every entrepreneur\u2019s mind:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m going to give you the 1 of the 4 things that the Top 1% of companies are hoping it takes you a long time to figure out because these things are infamous for creating barriers that discourage entrepreneurs from boldly moving forward, and disrupting their industries with exciting new innovations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Watch the full episode to learn all 4, and get ready to hit the ground running! So let\u2019s do this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But you DO need a great idea, some start-up funds, a solid prototype, and a stellar business proposal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2011, the founder of PayPal, Peter Thiel paid 20 students under the age of 20, $100k each to launch their entrepreneurial careers. But there was a catch: If they wanted to qualify for the grant, they had to drop out of school to get it. It\u2019s called the Thiel Fellowship, and a LOT of people weren\u2019t happy about it. Larry Summers, former president of Harvard, announced that it was, \u201cthe single most misdirected bit of philanthropy in this decade,\u201d and he also claimed that it \u2018sent the wrong signal\u2019 to a broader society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And one of the \u201csignals\u201d it sends is that higher education isn\u2019t the only path to success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Theil argues that a college education is grossly overpriced for most people and responds, \u201cHow did we ever get to the place where we have a one-size-fits-all society? I think we need more diversity and some genuinely different paths for people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As of today, the most successful recipient of the Thiel Fellowship was 19-year-old, Mark Zuckerberg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
College degrees are useful! And having a college experience can be amazing and life-changing. But that moment in time where it was absolutely necessary for a person to have a college degree in order to be successful in business\u2014that time is over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A survey done by Guidant Financial discovered that 30% of entrepreneurs don\u2019t have college degrees, and only 18% of entrepreneurs have Master’s degrees in business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An entrepreneur with an idea that is going to be of service to the world, make it a better place, make people\u2019s lives better\u2014they have a drive to pursue the ideas that matter. And in today\u2019s business climate, pursuing those ideas doesn\u2019t always mean spending loads of time and money in the classroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So if you have that great idea, start creating opportunities for yourself to generate start-up funds. Create an amazing business proposal. If your innovation is a product, start putting together your prototype. If your innovation is a service, start your own surveys, gather information from your ideal audience to show potential investors that your service is needed and that there\u2019s interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Try to keep in mind in these beginning stages that your idea just has to work perfectly once for one person, and then you start scaling it from there, one person at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some of the most vital parts of building a business are free. You can start building your brand, start connecting your brand with your ideal individuals, and start circulating your brand name throughout your community through acts of service. Many of the foundational aspects of branding building require learning some techniques, more than it requires spending a lot of money. And I\u2019ll put a link in the description below to take you into more step-by-step detail for how to build your brand using the 10 Landmarks of Branding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
