As a college student I am surrounded by people who study a lot. Going to class and keeping up with your workload is important but is it essential to starting your own business? Almost every entrepreneur is self-taught. We see a problem and create a business around fixing the problem. Entrepreneurs are the ones who have a vision and work endlessly to manifest it.
I knew nothing about watches before I started Yes Man watches. I had a vision to craft the best watch strap in the world and did everything I could to make it happen. I learned about watch movements, watch case material, watch batteries, and more. None of this was done in a class—I used the Internet to learn, Googling everything I could and soaking in information like a sponge. Now, if you ask me anything about watches, I will most likely know.
