How to prove my dad wrong and become a charismatic entrepreneur? I am a 17 year old teenager who has always done well in school, achieving many GPA over 4.0 and high grades, but I want to amount to more than that. My dad always tells me I will never have any success in life because I am not the "business type" and cannot "kiss up." This frustrates me beyond no end and I want to prove him wrong. Thus, I am looking for ways to improve my business skills and become more of a people person. Thanks for any advice given!
