Solutions to the Greatest Challenges for Entrepreneurs in College by Evan Morikawa:
Start a business while in college! It's a great opportunity for many reasons. However, be aware of some nasty challenges that are hard to accept and hard to deal with. Here are the four greatest ones I have faced:
-
Part I: Time Hates You
-
Too much to do and not enough time to do it...how do you balance School and Startup?
-
Part II: Projects are not Startups
-
You cannot think of your startup as a school project or you're doomed to fail. Here's how to overcome the trap of falling into the project mindset.
-
Part III: Mad skills and tract records are limited
-
Being in college means you're inexperienced. How do you handle the technological and business challenges? How do you manage others your age or even older?
-
Part IV: Opportunities are costly
-
Choose 2: Startup. School. Sleep. Play. There's a lot to think about in both the short and long term based on how you set your priorities.
I believe anyone who can help share their solutions to these obstacles could help spark an explosion of college entrepreneurship. So don’t keep your thoughts to yourself!
