That's like trying to train your cat to do your taxes—a waste of time and money. Wouldn't it make sense to teach them something useful instead?" *Combine Skills- It's unlikely that any average student can develop a world-class skill in one particular area. But it's easy to learn how to do several different things fairly well. *Fail Forward-failure is a process, not an obstacle * Find the Action-Move to where the action is * Attract Luck- Luck finds the doers * Conquer Fear- people can be trained to replace fear and shyness with enthusiasm. Every entrepreneur can use that skill. * Write Simply-write direct sentences and avoid extra words. Simplicity makes ideas powerful. Read anything by Steve Jobs or Warren Buffett. * Learn Persuasion-learn the art of persuasion in all its forms, including psychology, sales, marketing, negotiating, statistics and even design.
