How frequently does the letter s appear in:
Highest level of education completed by the 400 richest Americans (as listed by Forbes) 2012.
This graph shows a break down of the highest level of education achieved by Forbes 400 wealthiest Americans as listed in 2012. 27 of those who make the list of America’s billionaires held a high school degree as their highest level of education and had never been to college.
Amongst the most famous college dropouts turned billionaire entrepreneurs on the list are of course Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates and Sean Parker.
While it’s true that many of the super rich did go to college, was their education the reason they got so rich?
Successful people don’t value effort or time spent on an activity; they value the results. If college gave you great results, then that’s great. I know many people leave school wondering why they went into massive debt while they are still unable to land a decent job.
The problem is not in education, but the approach. When you approach an education you must think about skills, not just information or knowledge. Only 27 percent of college graduates are even working in the field they studied. One of the reasons you should study is to gain skills. The only things you can use every day to bring more value to the marketplace are your skills.
There are 28 million small businesses in America where almost two-thirds of them break even or lose money. Most businesses are not making it because of a lack of skills –not a lack of educated workers. We live in an age when knowledge and information is available everywhere, so what’s missing? Skills!
We need more skilled people, not more educated people. We need motivated workers — and motivation comes from having skills. Great entrepreneurs, salespeople, and successful people that get results aren’t born great. They are educated, motivated and trained to be where they are at.
Skills that result in you having an increased value in the marketplace is the reason I put together Mastering Objections, where I show you exactly how to handle customers, clients, spouses, business partners, and anyone else you are in communication with.
