As the late Jim Rohn once said, “Formal education will make you a living. Self education will make you a fortune”. But isn’t what you’re doing a form of self education? You’re only a freshman and I doubt you know much about running a business. There’s so much information online, some good and some useless, you could go broke before you learn what you need to know. Knowing the fundamentals of business management, including accounting and financial management, are essential if you want to be successful. The road to success is always under construction so you should accept that learning should be lifelong. Envision where you want to be in 5 years time. What do you have to do to make that a reality? What will stop you? What are your strengths and weaknesses? What areas of self development do you have to focus on? Be honest with yourself and get on with it.
