Do you know who really are the entrepreneurs statistically in the world? The C students. Yes, the C students. Because they don't like to work in the box. They don't follow rules. If something is going to kind of be a waste of time, then they don't do it. When everybody else is kind of running by the clock and the bell's going to ring, they want to get the lesson done, they want to make sure they get their— they're more interested in grades. Where the entrepreneur is looking outside the window dreaming his dreams, right? He's thinking, what am I going to do? He's the one that doesn't see limitations. He's the one that doesn't want to be told what to do. And somebody said the A students work for the government. And the B students work for the C students.
The A and B students work for the entrepreneur that was the C student. I find that to be true more often than not. I was not a great student. I struggled all the way through high school. I was unfortunately the most likely to fall asleep in class, not because I wasn't engaged, but because I was working hard, you know, playing tennis and doing exercise and everything like that after hours. Don't let what happens to you in grades in school prevent you from taking massive action and becoming an entrepreneur that can crush it for the clients that you serve. Follow me and/or let me know in the comments if you were an A student, a B student, or a C student. I don't want the stigma to be just 'cause you're really smart and got great grades that you can't succeed. 'Cause I know plenty of really smart people that have crushed it as well.
