Andrew’s Story
- Andrew was studying medicine, but dropped out of college.

Thoughts on School
- In some fields, like marketing, what school teaches can be antiquated.
- Other fields, like becoming a doctor or lawyer, school is essential.
- Before you start school, take a step back and figure out what you want to do with your life.
- Make connections! Talk to people that are in the field. Shadow people!
- AFTER you’ve done your research, decide if school is right for you.
Making your own path
- If you want to be successful, you need to focus on you first.
- Zone out other people and their opinions.
- Pursue what makes you happy.
- Put off immediate gratification for the future.
- Put yourself in a position where you can grow.
Patience Vs. Complacence
- LinkedIn post about Patience and Complacence
- Are you doing what you're doing out of patience of complacence?
- You have the ability to make an impact and a difference in the world!
- Fulfill your potential! No regrets!
- Take calculated risks when you can. Without risk there’s no reward.
- It’s okay to be patient if you have a plan. As long as the things you’re doing are working toward a greater goal, you’re good :)
- Do a risk assessment.
- It takes time to build something great.
Success Tips
- Surround yourself with good people
- “You are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with”
- Delegation - Find people that are better than you at specific tasks, and take them on.
