they have the need to climb mountain b before they climb mountain a. they need people to ride the brake pedal and count things. is that what you learn? in our curriculum, we spend more time teaching them not just how to be a more effective entrepreneur. we look for what i call type twos, entrepreneur two and entrepreneur three, the people that can help the primary entrepreneur get his or her job done. the primary entrepreneur loses interest very quickly. they have a real problem with add. which is the problem of people that become founders and their company grows and they have to run the company and it is six years down the road and they want to start something new already. there is a different skill involved in doing that business at that stage. do you suggest that somebody go take a course somewhere sm. it never hurts to have a course for the content and networking experience that you
get from talking to the students as well as the content. back to that point again, i must admit, from my business school class, i call upon the people that i went to school with all of the time to ask questions. what did you do here? what did you do hear? not only entrepreneurs but other people in banking and marketing and consulting. there are so many resources, this show. and yours. when i started my first business back in the days of bear skins and knives, there were no resources like this. there was nothing. today, there are 1700 entrepreneurial programs at colleges. you can turn on the radio and television and get that help. that is just tremendous. we could be entering a golden age of entrepreneurism. i hope so. to the point of the people in bizdom u, when you can t get a job, the option might be to start your own company. some people quibble about giving them a piece of the company. i say, remember, 100% of nothing is nothing.
