An entrepreneurship student was once quoted saying, "Entrepreneurship is living a few years of your life like most people won’t, so that you can spend the rest of your life like most people can’t.”
I will say that many of us, whether already successful entrepreneurs or aspiring, can find a lot of raw truth in that statement. After all, the word entrepreneur itself is, in part, one who assumes great financial risk in the hopes of achieving success. Many of the world’s most successful entrepreneurs were, in fact, college dropouts, unable to afford both their education at universities and the funding for their business ventures.
