Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is: Billionaire Edition



I told yall -Boosie Daughter Voice- While degrees are quite the accomplishment in this day and age it's not needed. If you won't take my word for it here's a few you might want to take notes from and lets say they bet a billion on it...



Sean Parker | Facebook | Net worth: $2.1 billion

SKIP COLLEGE; GOOGLE YOUR EDUCATION
“When these incredible tools of knowledge and learning are available to the whole world, formal education becomes less and less important. We should expect to see the emergence of a new kind of entrepreneur who has acquired most of their knowledge through self- exploration.”
Dustin Moskovitz | Facebook | Net worth : $3.5 billion

YOU CAN ALWAYS GO BACK


If Facebook hadn’t worked out after he left college to join Mark Zuckerberg, he said, “I could have gone back to Harvard anytime. My friends might not be there anymore. I might have to start over socially. That was a risk. But it was a pretty small risk compared to the opportunity at the time.”

Phil Ruffin| Treasure Island Casinos | Net worth: $2.4 billion

LOOK OUT FOR NO. 1
Ruffin’s last duty as someone else’s employee was to repossess a monkey. He quit and founded a chain of stores, and later, hotels and casinos. “The advice I would give to young people? Quit your job. Don’t work for anybody. You really can’t make any money working for someone else.”

John Paul DeJoria | Paul Michell Systems; Patron Tequila | Net worth: $4.0 billion
                                          
GET THICK-SKINNED
The Navy vet slept in an ancient Rolls- Royce on Sunset Strip as he slung shampoo door-to-door before making it big with Paul Mitchell. “I learned sales and marketing from knocking on a hundred doors a day. You quickly discover that you’ll get 99 slammed in your face before you make a sale.”

 Kolleh Thomas| LifeStyleOlogy | Net worth: TBD 

BE YOUR OWN STIFF COMPO
Whether their in front, back, side to side pay them absolute no mind. No one is your competition for the G O D made a lane especially for you. Work until you can hand that baton to someone whose willing to work for you for free.
