There is a raging controversy about whether a small business owner and entrepreneur needs a college education. We know many very successful entrepreneurs with no college experience. We also know successful entrepreneurs with advanced degrees. Some of the wisest people I know didn’t graduate from premier schools.
So, what’s the answer? Get that degree or not?
A very timely article by Tyler Mahoney answers the question well!

Gary Schoeniger, Co-Host of Entrepreneurs Insight Radio, recently posted a blog on the state of entrepreneurship education in America.
It wasn’t until recently that entrepreneurs became respected and relatively understood. Only a few years ago the term wasn’t fashionable. However, now we are the future of the American economy.
Mr. Schoeniger’s post is insightful and shows that we have a long way to go to fully understand the term and how to teach it.

In a recent interview with Andy Halko, founder of Insivia, it was revealed that he started his company with only $400, and had to be real agile to survive those early days. He was constantly tweaking his goals and plans or his company wouldn’t survive.
He talked about Cathy Horton of Nutek, Diana Richards of Vacuum Systems, Inc., and Blake Squires of Findaway. All of them had to learn to change course in the early going, or risk suffering some negative consequences. Blake Squires at Findaway started selling his product in retail outlets, but quickly ended up selling to the Defense department and libraries.
The lesson learned here is that most companies start with one plan and quickly have to go to another.
