After high school, I moved to Georgia for a sales job with a lot of traveling.
I learned to be self-sufficient, connect with others, and sell to professionals. I gained all the skills to survive and thrive on my own — and the courage to never look back. This confidence served me well when I walked away from a lucrative job to start a business as a year-old with two young children. At 29, I took the company public. I didn't need a degree to teach me something I'd rather learn by doing anyway.
I learned by thinking bigger and challenging myself to make a more significant impact. Intentional action creates results. If you're committed, you'll eventually succeed. My parents urged me to go to university, even though I had a successful ecommerce store by the time I was One afternoon, I faced a dilemma.
I had an essay due in three days, but I also had products to sell. I didn't have time to do both, so I had an idea: Why not outsource my essay? I researched "essay writing services" and prepared to email one. Right before I hit send, I suddenly realized: "Wait a minute. In college, it's not outsourcing — it's cheating!

You choose yourself. Back when I was considering whether to go to college, I asked myself where I wanted to be one day and how I could get there the quickest. If I'd wanted a leadership position in a large company, I would have made a different decision. But my goal was to be my own boss and work hard on my own projects, not someone else's.
I don't disagree with studying in principle, but if you know in your heart that you don't want to work for any company but your own, you can make better use of your time. While others spent years studying and commuting back and forth between exams and parties, I built a seven-figure company in the same amount of time. I'm not saying it was easy, but it was the only path I could see for myself — and I would choose it again today.
I graduated from the school of hard knocks, so I always felt like I had to work twice as hard as anyone with a college degree. This perseverance helped me develop a strong work ethic and problem-solving skills. I learned real-world business skills first and figured out how to handle any issues that came my way. As a result, I'm comfortable working with anyone and highly attuned to asking the right questions and directing others to solve problems quickly and efficiently.
That means I spend less time and money than others when getting outside professionals and in-house teams to collaborate. If I ever need a brain surgeon, I'll go to the best I can find. But a degree in business leadership doesn't make you a great leader; some things are just inherent, or they aren't.
I feel bad for more than half of the young people in college today. I'm not talking about those working toward a specific objective, like becoming a doctor, lawyer, or accountant.
