Many places I believed I knew what I was doing were better served if questions were asked than assumptions. I was afraid that if I asked questions, people might think I was stupid.

2. Don’t skip college.

There have been some incredible stories of young entrepreneurs who made it while still in high school or early in college – and who found success without a degree. Even if that were to happen to you, skipping college isn’t a Step I would suggest.

Up until the point of my first gigantic setback and then failure, I had excelled at anything and everything I’d ever done. Although I was an overachiever and never lost, I learned so much more when I failed. for The first time was not the best. However, that failure may not have been as devastating if I had learned how to accept them and learn from them. And that was just the beginning. “win” After that, failure is truly celebrated.
