internships as possible.
Next, check out Pinkett's book, which helps take the mystery out of the process by exploring the issues of business ownership, such as how to write a business plan, build a winning team, how to network your way to business success and other topics every entrepreneur needs to know.
DON'T STOP LEARNING WHEN CLASS ENDS
I also recommend creating your own "University on Wheels" as a way of getting into the entrepreneur mindset, no matter who you might choose to work for.
What if I were to tell you that you could take three college courses a quarter without
having to go through a long or costly registration process?
Well, you can, because there's a concept called University on Wheels (UOW), and when I got introduced to it, I was amazed at what I could learn and get done with it.
You've probably heard of UOW before and maybe you're already putting it to work for you, but if you haven't, here's a short intro. If you commute to school or work or have a stretch of time where you are in transit on a regular basis, then you probably listen to your favorite music on
your iPod or use the time to call and chat it up with your friends.
UOW suggests that you turn that time into getting schooled by listening to educational audio files or books in your car, on the bus, subway, airplane or even on foot.
You can transform wasted time into "workshops on wheels." Plus, with the proliferation of podcasting, there's an entire industry out there waiting to serve you by making your commute time educational and profitable.
The goal is to always be on alert for ways to learn more, be more and do more. You have an amazing opportunity to turn what you know into cash flow, and with examples of super successful young business owners like Mark Zuckerberg, creator of Facebook.com, you now have the incentive, too.
Thousands of college students are taking the steps toward entrepreneurship and setting themselves up for business and career success. What about you?
