I would say step 5 is the most important step. One of my coworkers recently quit to start his own company, and he seems to be doing well. The most difficult step for him was probably step 5. .-= Victor´s last blog post: Day Trip to Boreal 2010 =-.

Aminul, you are indeed right. It's all about doing. So many times I hear friends talking about things they want to do with business and life but then they just go home and watch tv or get on facebook for four hours getting nothing accomplished. It's all about the will to succeed and that is what separates success from failure. .-= Kevin´s last blog post: Why You Need To Ask For Help When Starting Your Business =-.

School education is never enough while you compare it with anyone’s real life. The real life’s experience teaches us to learn more from what is being taught to us by the nature, situation and everything around us.

Am I right?

Great Post, these are 5 very important things. I have many years of college experience and must say most of the important stuff I learned on my own outside of college.

Tony nailed it. Most business professors have no real world experience in what they're teaching. Grab yourself a mentor or two who have already done what you want to do and follow. .-= Dennis Edell´s last blog post: Welcome Aboard Part 2! All The Info You’ve Been Waiting For… =-.

Clinton, thanks for the comment. I completely agree with your statement about sales. If you look at Sam Wyly (one of the books in the post) you see that he was able to build his empire based on his sales skills, which he never mentioned he learned in b-school but rather by getting out there and selling stuff for IBM. Business schools need to step back and refocus their curriculum to make sure and keep up with current markets and trends much faster.

Great tips, Kevin. Most things are best learnt with practicals and out of school, and one of those things is running a successful business.
