I would say never start out of college. Work for about 5-6 years; get some experience in the world of business. How and what happens there. Become extremely conversant with finance, especially if you are going into some form of a fairly, complex, large type of operation. You can’t get that knowledge in text books.
Don’t be an entrepreneur without very good financial knowledge. Or have a trusted partner who knows all about this.
Being an investment banker doesn’t necessarily train you to be an entrepreneur. So don’t go for that. Go hard core, bottom of the barrel. Join a company which does not pay you that much but where you have the opportunity to learn.
It has to be an inner drive to succeed in what your objective is. And it cannot be money in my mind. If you want to get into entrepreneurship to make money, I don’t think you will succeed.
At the end giving personal word to a lot of people who have come along counts.
Working with a partner requires a huge amount of sacrifice, understanding and tolerance. It’s like a marriage at the end of the day. I mean, worse than marriage.
