Why starting a business is better than school

Have you ever felt like you're trapped in a system that doesn't understand or value you? School can often feel like that—a place where you're constantly judged by grades and forced to fit into a mold that just doesn't fit.

But what if there was another way? What if you could break free from the chains of traditional education and forge your own path? That's where starting a business comes in.

Starting a business isn't just about making money (although that's definitely a perk). It's about taking control of your own destiny, unleashing your creativity, and building something that truly matters to you.

In school, you're taught to follow the rules, memorize information, and regurgitate it on command. But in the world of business, you get to be the rule-breaker, the innovator, the trailblazer. You get to learn by doing, making mistakes, and figuring things out as you go along.

Sure, starting a business can be tough. You'll face challenges, setbacks, and moments of doubt. But isn't that better than spending your days in a place that makes you feel small, insignificant, and unimportant?

When you start a business, you're not just learning about marketing, finance, and operations. You're learning about yourself—your strengths, your weaknesses, your passions, and your dreams. And that's a lesson you won't find in any textbook.

So if you're tired of feeling like a cog in the machine, maybe it's time to consider starting your own business. It's a scary, uncertain, and exhilarating journey, but isn't that better than the soul-crushing monotony of school?

Where to next? Pick one!
