Textbooks often present the bright or imaginary side of reality and it is the insertions of experience excerpts into the lessons that will bring students back to reality. This will help entrepreneurs prepare better before exposing themselves to the real world. Thus, avoid student-turned-lecturers.

Edgar is a close friend (a classmate actually). In the third comment of his above, he states that he got my meaning in my reply to his first comment. I have also followed up with him personally. Also, this blog is definitely not dying :p . I have been studying for a test. The upcoming blog post will be posted on this Wednesday, stay tuned.

On your point on homework, entrepreneurs must be a good listener and follower to become a good leader, which is true, but homework is not the only necessary way for us to learn how to listen and follow. I like your example on how to see things differently but if you have a venture going on and the homework is going to add 10 more lines to your to-do list, I don’t know about you but I will be frustrated or even mad because I could have spend the time on building my own business.

P/S: Most parents, especially Asian parents, REQUIRE their children to go to college, yes, even if they are already running a business at a young age.

Again, I would like to highlight that you have provided some great tips on how entrepreneurs or entrepreneurial students can study better and be more productive. Thanks.

2. If someone have the interest, they won’t mind it, no matter what level of bore they need to endure. There’s two kinds of people: – Those who think they love it, and – those who like the idea of thinking they love it.

Attitude is everything. So does humility.

3. A student that view homework as counter productive, wanting to get into their own agenda, is a sign of someone who is already good at what they’re doing. “I don’t need this, I got my own thing going you know?” Why bother going through college?

- In a real business, if that happens, the business is heading for doom. A corporation that have each of its component working on their own agendas, is a sign of a company that is not going to make it in their first 5 years.

- Entrepreneurship is about leadership. Good leaders are also good listeners, and good followers. At some point in their life, good entrepreneurs was either a good student or a good worker. It is reason why they can be a good leader, because they are also a good follower and a good listener.

- The college is the boss, students is the employees. Deal with it. But it doesn’t have to be seen that way. It could be:

The college is a client. Students are Independent Business Owners that is providing good quality services, by providing good quality assignments. it’s a business liaison. Do whatever it takes to keep the clients happy.

- One can’t set the priorities of their own agenda higher than the client’s. It does not make sense.

- If someone hope to be their own boss, and have their own ideas, they should do well in their current work, as an employee, work out the basics, tender the resignation and go off on their own or find another opportunity elsewhere. That’s what most successful entrepreneurs have done.

4. If the homework is overbearing, then it means a constraint, it’s a challenge, an external factor that is also an element in economics. In business, there’s things out of the entrepreneur’s control like market prices, economic factors etc. An entrepreneur can’t hope for things outside of their control to go on their favor all the time.

How to best deal with the situation, is entrepreneurial qualities. Time management, task management, is an important aspects to entrepreneurship.

- Although the assignment is expected to be an original product of an individual, No rules ever state, the conducting of research and resources gathering couldn’t be a collaborative effort. Network with other students to trade research sources.

“You, cover the aspects of this, you get into this. blah blah blah.”

Discussing about it, is not the same as photocopying it from someone, as long as someone else is writing it for them. If someone else is doing the work, they must be credited for it.

- Knowledge really is a varied different interpretation of the same subject. Originality? What’s that? Originality is a myth.

Combine the sources and everyone extract what they need according to their personal view on it, and cash out.

Successful entrepreneurs knows for a fact the importance of connectivity and interaction to their business, they also utilize the technology to their advantage. With the advent of mobile connectivity and internet, communication is much simplified. Invest in a skype phone, establish online study groups, a website to pool resources, forum boards, internet video conference. Could save a lot of traveling time and phone bills.

- Creativity what propels innovation. Innovation is what created invention. Invention is often created at the most difficult time.

- Devising a way to complete the assignment faster, in order to have more time to spend on personal things is innovation: it’s the basics of R&D. Acquire extra skills such as speed reading, enhance reading skills, better research method, writing: learning how to put thoughts on writing better, faster, typing faster etc.

There’s a lot of free source software that could help simplify these sort of tasks.

Outsourcing assignments @ cheating? It’s bad business ethics. Later life habit start from somewhere, and most probably in the education system. Successful entrepreneurs (in terms successful, they’re not only judged by how much money they have, it’s how they live their life) constitute and maintain set of morale values. And it is that integrity and values that motivates them, not money a.k.a end result. Successful entrepreneurs value the process as more important than the result.

5. One word: compromise. Why don’t both of the parties choose to sit down and talk about it, open a dialogue, petitions? A good college should have a student body. They’re responsible in that department. An entrepreneur venture need to solve its internal dilemma or they’re heading for a devastating outcome. Negotiation is a practical entrepreneurship skills.

6. For lecturers, there’s a difference in knowing the path than walking it.

To quote robert kiyosaki, in his book, “Poor dad Rich Dad”: when he’s “shopping around” for lawyers and real estate agents, he would first ask them how many real estate that THEY themselves own.

It’s an establishment of confidence, credibility, of them really knowing what they’re talking about, and as Kiyosaki stated, most importantly, they are sharing the same interest.

A consultant isn’t good if they are not personally involved in the business. It signaled their own incompetence, or their own skepticism to the business–they actually are providing advice on things they don’t do or have interest in: “it’s just a job”.

In my personal experience and observation, mainly, people that are good in what they do (because they’re not train to teach, they “do”), are good mentors but lousy teachers (Vice versa for the opposite), they don’t teach things “classroom-style” so to learn from them, one need to pay attention, know when to take notes, and when to “ask”.
