3 Key Points:
1. Don't count on the education system!
Today's education system is OUTDATED! Don't rely on it to teach you everything you need to be successful!
Go out and explore new things, and build an education path that's right for YOU!
2. Be willing and excited to fail!
If you've never failed at anything, you've never really tried! ALL entrepreneurs experience failure regularly, as a teenager, GET USED TO THIS!
The more you try, the more you'll fail AND learn!
3. Don't wait until after High School to start!
As a high school student, you have more time than ever to explore your curiosities and begin learning what you truly want to do in life!
Don't waste this opportunity!
