The day my education FAILED me… 

​

See, school was really tough for me.  

 

I didn’t do a great job on assignments.  

 

I was terrible at paying attention.  

 

I struggled the whole way through high school, and even into college. I hated it.    

 

But I remember my parents telling me that I had to get an education, so that I could get a job…

 

And then came Graduation Day…

 

I sat in my funny-looking cap and gown, and that’s when it HIT ME HARD…

​

 

Everyone was so excited, and I couldn’t help but think…

 

Oh my gosh… I just went through my entire college education…

 

I got a degree that says I learned how to do something…

 

But I have NO actual skills. And my degree isn’t going to actually get me a real job. 

 

College didn’t teach me anything!  

 

But while I was going to school, thank goodness I had the sense to educate MYSELF.  

 

I started learning from mentors and others who had already figured this “marketing” stuff out...  

 

I got to learn directly from the sources…

 

It was self-education (not school) that completely changed my life.
