>> For students who are considering getting into an entrepreneurial startup type
of business you have to have the right mentality for it.
I mean I think that you have to be really willing to grind hard.
I mean it's a competitive business.
For me I was working in a nonprofit environment, and even though the work we were doing
in the community was great and I really loved and appreciated what we were doing,
there was a certain level of complacency within the organization and a certain level
of an expectation that you could get away with a lot and not have
to really pull your weight that much.
And there wasn't really an accountability measure there.
So I think that you really have to be accountable to yourself.
You have to really want to work hard and want to achieve and want to be successful.
And at the same time as an undergrad I didn't know enough about myself
to really have the skills to develop the personal, you know, develop into the person
and the professional that I am now.
So I think you have to be patient with yourself.
I would say that's a big key.
Like if you graduate and you don't know what to do like don't force it.
I would say, you know, take your time.
If you have that luxury to be able to do that then I would say go for it.
Because you can learn a lot about yourself in those first couple years
out of college once you get some real world experience
that might help you a lot down the line.
