The biggest decision of my life? Deciding to finally focus on what felt right to me.
At an early age I received an "F" on one of my Science tests. From that moment in time I understood that no matter how many people tried to tell me the importance of school, I knew deep down inside that it wasn't for me. And although I knew it would bring me nights upon nights of punishment, I decided that school couldn't be the one thing I focused all of my energy on.
From my "flower business," to the lemonade stands, to the baseball card collection, I knew early on that I was a businessman. Although I had felt it inside, it wasn't until I made the conscious decision to focus on these skills that things began to change for me and my outlook on the rest of my life would be forever different.
The moment I made the decision I knew that I would be looked at by society as different, and I understood that, but I made the mental decision to accept that and focus on what felt right for me. I made a deal with myself that I was ready and willing to eat the pain in order to capitalize on my early self-awareness. I decided to focus on my skills and learn as much as possible about whatever venture I was focused on at the time. So rather than succumbing to society's pre-determined life plan for me, I fought it, and delivered on what I felt and knew I was -- a businessman.
I suggest you do the same.

    they still do that in school where you have to get your assignments with D or F signed by a parent, but I don't know that from personal experience 🙂

    ***** not a fan of you answer about paying jabs that's smaller business just paying for hooking. I just spend only 25euro a month on facebook and I do 20euro for call to action and 5euro to boost some post 3 tot 4post a month and have "great" result with that

    INCREDIBLE to hear your turning point story;  I am the mother of a 4th grader and I can see that in some areas about how school works she is making similar lines in the sand.
