Why I Dropped Out Of College... Best Education Page #Online Earning

hi my name is Stefan James from

projectlifemastery.com and I make

anywhere from two to three million

dollars per year as pure profit after

any expenses I'm a multimillionaire I'm

32 years old I'm an entrepreneur I run

several online businesses and I'm also

an investor and the only reason why I

share those things with you is to lend

some credibility behind what I'm gonna

share with you in this video because I

dropped out of college and I'm gonna

share to you why I dropped out of

college and why actually dropping out of

college for me was one of the best

decisions I ever made in my life because

I would not be where I am today or Who I

am today if I did not make that decision

so really what I'm here to do in this

video is provide for you a different

perspective a different mindset not just

of myself but some of the most

successful people in the world that have

also done a similar thing whether that's

Mark Zuckerberg from Facebook or Bill

Gates from Microsoft who had dropped out

of Harvard one of the most prestigious

schools out there and how it was also

one of the best decisions they made in

their life as well and how oftentimes

society our parents our teachers our

peers

they've conditioned us to believe that

school and university is the way toward

success that you've got to get great

grades you've got to go to a great

school graduate get your degree get a

great job and then you live happily ever

after and I I challenge that model I

think there's different life styles that

people want to create or a vision or a

career or a mission they might have

where that might be the best path for

you but it's not the only path it is not

I believe the best path for success and

financial abundance and freedom which is

I believe a lot of people want and

they're attracted to in their life that

there's many different options today

that exist that didn't exist before that

has changed a lot of that and that this

conditioning you have to understand is

just a path and there's many other roads

that I believe can be more efficient

more cost-effective for sure in terms of

you look at if you put a certain amount

of money towards your university

education and you take that same amount

you put

into some of these other ways of

educating yourself in growing that I'm

gonna share with you in this video

time-wise learning wise there's many

benefits and many flaws I think to the

system and benefits to these alternative

approaches towards getting to where you

want to go so listen let me share a few

guys my story I was a horrible student

guys when I was in school in high school

man I was a c-minus C student I barely

graduated high school I just found ways

to get by had no motivation towards

going to school I was only there because

my mom made me be there my parents made

me be there and I had to do it cuz

everyone else was doing that and you got

to graduate from high school I had a

hard time learning I thought I had a

learning disability in fact that label

was put on me by my teachers they

thought I had dyslexia because I had a

difficult time learning and retaining

information and later on what I had

learned is that we all have different

styles of learning and that the school

system is catered towards a one specific

style but not everybody learns that way

everyone has their own strengths and

weaknesses in different learning styles

and so here I was in an environment that

was not the most conducive to my own

learning and I was going to school and

not retaining and getting that much

value from it just barely graduating

barely getting by some people they're

more visual right there what they learn

maybe why watching videos for example or

being in a an environment a classroom

and seeing the demonstration seeing the

visual the visual elements from that

that's the best way that they learn

other people are more auditory they

learn by listening or hearing maybe for

you that's a podcast or audiobooks and

then others are more kinesthetic and

they learn by doing right by actually

they got to get their hands you know

their hands dirty I guess and they've

got to be involved in the process and

they learn more by doing than just

sitting there passively and observing so

there's all these different styles and

that was one of the reasons why I

realize that that environment was not

conducive towards the most efficient way

for me to learn and grow

it's very flawed because it's only cater

towards a certain style of learning

right and now there's a lot of studies

and research now that is supporting what

I just shared of how all their we all

have different ways of learning

and unfortunately school systems haven't

really caught up and evolved to that

it's a kind of a stuck system that

doesn't change that much which can be a

little bit frustrating so anyways I was

a horrible student I couldn't wait to

graduate you know for me that was like

the end of my education at that point

but at the time I was getting into

self-development too and I'm thankful

for that because it provided a different

alternative a way of self educating

myself so here I was though I graduated

from high school and as a position where

I didn't really know what I wanted to do

with my life and I think you know it's

natural thing if you're a young person

nobody is you know you can't expect

anybody to really have the clarity on

what they want for their life at that

age because you don't have enough life

experience to really make that decision

I think one of the best things to do

when you're young is to experience the

buffet of life try a lot of different

things to find out what your strengths

and your weaknesses are and do self

development work on you to get more

clarity on what you want and what you

want to do with your life and I think

what happens is and I realize this at a

young age is that a lot of people

they're going a university or school

because not because it's what they want

is because the pressure from their

parents Society and believing that you

have to have an education they feel

pressure because they see everyone else

all their peers and their friends going

to school and university they feel like

they have that pressure to follow suit

because they feel like they don't have

that direction in their life if they're

not doing the same thing and I felt that

but I also knew some older friends

thankfully that I was able to observe

and see how a lot of people they rush

into going to school and university

wasting a lot of time and money to get a

degree in education that they don't even

use and there's countless examples of

that I've got friends for example

they've gone to school for engineering

tens of thousands if not over $100,000

to going to school for accounting and

all these different things and yet their

career today they got the degree but

they're not even doing anything with it

because they realized that wasn't their

passion they didn't enjoy it and they

ended up wasting that time and money you

could still say there's still some value

they got from it of course but in terms

of the time and money there's other

things that could have put that into

where they would have gotten much

greater return

their life for sure so it wasn't the

optimal use of that and not ideal by any

means and so I realized that and I

decided to take a year or two off to

travel to work to try different jobs as

learning sales as doing a lot of

self-development and I think that's one

of the best things that you can do

because you got your whole life ahead of

you there's no rush to get into debt and

you know end up going down a path that

might not be the best path for you but

anyways at the time I kind of realized I

did want to do some marketing I didn't

enjoy sales and I was going through the

buffet of life I was trying different

things so I decided I was gonna enroll

in one class for one semester at a

college

it's called Kwantlen College in British

Columbia Canada and I decided you know I

was I was already working full-time it

was just an evening class that I was

gonna take and I wanted to test it out

and kind of see I was a little bit

hesitant because I I did not enjoy going

to school and university but I wanted to

find what was that direction for me for

me in my life I ended up going to this

this you know taking this this term this

introduction of marketing course I knew

right away it was not for me right away

guys I was there sitting in a class and

I was learning from a professor

marketing who had never marketed

anything before in his life never ever

had a business before was just

regurgitating the stuff from a textbook

which most of it was not that practical

or useful for me irrelevant that was not

actionable and it was more based I was

getting rewarded not based on results

and taking action but it was actually

based on my ability to memorize

information and I soon realized that

this was not the most efficient way if I

really wanted to learn marketing if I

wanted to learn sales or business

because I had a bit of a self

development background I'd realized that

the easier and faster way towards

success would actually be to model other

people that have what I want someone

that is actually doing marketing someone

that actually is running a business that

already has success because this

professor you know it was a successful

business person in a market or he would

not be a professor and that's not always

the case but I wanted to learn from

something that actually was living the

results of what I was learning from them

and I realized they're certain to stay

I could get that would allow me to

progress and grow in my life way more

than I ever could just by reading this

textbook and sitting there in this class

and I just also learned it wasn't the

most conducive environment for me to

learn it was not the best use of my

money and I realize there's these all

these other ways that I can learn

marketing I could find the best

marketers in the world and learn from

them that they have books they have

training programs and seminars and

events that are a fraction of the cost I

mean it still cost hundreds or thousands

of dollars but in comparison to what you

learn in a three-day seminar learning

from the best in the world and learning

from them at what's working now today

and then you take that and you apply it

to your life or your business that was

way more attractive and appealing to me

than sitting you know day after day week

after week in this classroom learning

all this theory and information taking

notes on it but then having no practical

way to apply it so I've learned I've

learned that the best way to learn is

actually by modeling success of people

who have those results and then number

two actually taking action and applying

it you know one of the things I teach in

my work is that there's three levels of

mastery the first level is knowing right

what you just think they get all the

information I'm going to know the steps

the strategies the processes all of that

but a lot of people they get caught up

there and it's a danger for them because

the best way to really learn is by doing

and oftentimes people they stay in that

knowing zone because it's safe and it's

comfortable they don't have to risk

anything they don't have to take any

action and risk failure or looking bad

so they stay just learning and learning

and learning without actually doing and

implementing and so what I had realized

is that a more efficient way to grow in

my life if I wanted to make money build

a business learn marketing was to learn

from books and resources from seminars

and coaches and mentors put my money

into that rather than putting it into

the education system put it into that

that can allow me to grow and get more

valuable information that's more

practical and useful and then applying

it in my life and by applying it I'm

actually really learning it on a much

deeper level ok I'm not just getting the

intellectual a theory of it but I'm

applying it and getting

volts from it I could build a business

as I'm learning and I'm learning as I go

and so when I need more information when

I need the next steps the next

strategies I can find the next training

and they coach the next mentor the next

books whatever it is to support my

growth and then apply learn do learn do

keep applying keep learning and continue

with that process and today it's so much

easier than it ever has been before

because we have access that our parents

and our grandparents did not have access

to called the internet right so we can

get information a lot easier and faster

than we did back before which when you

know in that case the education you can

get from a university was more valuable

but not as much today because you have

the greatest resource available called

the internet that gives you access to

the most successful people to the best

strategies to the best information all

of that is much more valuable then also

I read a book called emotional

intelligence by Daniel Goleman highly

recommend this book what they've found

is that the biggest indicator of success

is not your IQ it's not your

intelligence it's actually your EQ your

emotional quotient your emotional

intelligence and that is the biggest

problem with the education system with

colleges and university is that you're

learning information to get a degree but

you're not actually learning the

emotional intelligence that the actual

tools you need in order to be successful

in your life the emotional intelligence

is determination resourcefulness

resilience confidence it's the strength

to be able to overcome any failure

obstacle in your life it's your ability

to be able to handle stress and anxiety

it's being able to push yourself and

grow it's the emotional intelligence

that determines success a lot more than

just your intelligence your IQ and that

there's people you know for me I wasn't

the smartest person by any means and I'm

still not but I have the emotional

intelligence and that's been the biggest

factor of my success it's not because

I'm an a great academic learner it's not

because I did great in school that does

not translate to financial success and

abundance right so it's getting clear on

that

and understanding that that is more

important to develop and cultivate

because that's what's going to determine

whether or not you even take action to

begin with that's going to give you the

confidence to apply and do the things

you need to do to create success in your

life so I realize that the education

system in school is not conducive for

that at all either and then I also

realize listen what do I want in my life

what is my vision what's the lifestyle I

want because a lot of people are going

to school not having that in mind

they're not looking at the big picture

of their life and part of it is they

don't know it's possible and when I

started getting a self-development I

realized the possibilities for my life

expanded I started to believe that I

could be do you have anything that I

wanted that if I wanted to be a

multi-millionaire if I wanted to be

financially abundant if I wanted to

travel the world if I wanted to give an

impact the world in a huge way that

going to college or university was not

going to get me there and fad

traditionally what it would do is just

get you a job where you're working for

somebody else and you're trading your

time for money you're working to build

their dream not your own dream and it

was not going to create millions of

dollars in my life there's a limit to

how much I can make and because I was

working for someone else I would not

have freedom in my life to travel and do

what I want to do and so I realized that

is not that's not the path for me to get

to that outcome to get to that vision to

get to that lifestyle that just I just

had a poor strategy going to school

becoming an architect which I thought I

wanted to do and not in high school or

whatever hood that was not going to get

me to where I want to go so that's why I

started to look at different ways what

is the path towards creating that vision

a multi-million dollar lifestyle to

travel the world all that and and I

think what you got to do is you have to

look at in school what do you want you

got to start with that like listen if

you want to be a doctor if you want to

be a lawyer if you want to be in account

like if that's truly what you want and

you want to be that then yeah we've got

to look at what's the best path to get

there and for you is probably going to

school it's probably going to university

but if you want to be an entrepreneur if

you want to have your own business if

you want to specialize in a certain

skill or ability if you want to

you have the freedom to travel in a

certain lifestyle then school's not

going to get you there you know and you

have to look at that if you are going to

be a doctor great and you love that

awesome then go to school for that but

just understand you know you can create

amazing income from that but it might

not provide for you the lifestyle you

want the freedom and now today because

the internet there's way more options

available that are everywhere before

it's easier to start a business today

than it's ever been before

anybody can do it from anywhere in the

world with just a computer or smartphone

and it's very inexpensive and the lifes

found the benefits from it Trump any

type of lifestyle or benefits you can

often get from having a job and

oftentimes when you actually become an

entrepreneur and you learn skills the

emotional intelligence you have more

security in your life than you ever will

by going to get a job you know people

often say well you know getting a job

and go to school and provide security

for you or being an entrepreneur does

not provide security that's the biggest

bullshit in the world are you kidding me

you know when you go to school and you

get your education get a job you're not

secure your entire livelihood is based

on someone else your boss and at any

moment they can fire you or let you go

that is not called having your own

destiny life in your own hands you're at

the mercy of someone else in any moment

they could they could fire you let you

go you know there to be a recession they

could be changes in the economy that

affect your livelihood technology is

evolving we're right now millions of

people in the next you know number of

years are gonna be without jobs because

there's robots and artificial

intelligence that's coming autonomous

cars all of these things that are

changing the landscape and oftentimes

when people they go to school University

and they're not evolving themselves

they're not learning how to add value

they're not learning how to be

emotionally intelligent to deal with

those things like when you're an

entrepreneur for example and you do your

own self education you have to learn to

develop the skills and the confidence to

be able to make money whenever you need

it and so you take that with you you're

more equipped for the ever-changing

world that we're going to be in and

that's coming versus the education

systems not really preparing people for

that and so you've got to take that into

your own hands and evolve and grow

yourself through learning from other

successful people right learning and

math

screen the skills and working on your

mindset in reading books etc because

that can allow you to be able to adapt

to the changing world that we're in so I

just knew that that path would not get

me to where I want to go maybe it will

for you again but I think it you got to

get clear on what you want what do you

want what is the lifestyle get clear on

that for me I want to travel the world I

want to make millions of dollars I want

to make any huge impact in the world and

you know going to school is not gonna

get me there and so what I realized and

decided I'm gonna take my education in

my own hands I'm gonna be in charge of

it I'm gonna dictate what I learn and

where I learn and because I'm in control

of it I will be motivated to do it

because back when I was in school I had

no motivation because they're teaching

things to me that I did not care to

learn I didn't see the benefit in the

value of learning it and the teachers

didn't know how to communicate or

motivate the students to really learn

that information and if not at best I

was just memorizing it and not actually

applying it so I'm into mastery and I

want to apply what I'm learning I want

to learn things and go deep with it but

when I realize is that when I put my

learning in my hands I loved it I loved

it you know I started reading books I

read hundreds and hundreds of books when

I was nineteen Twenty twenty one twenty

my early 20s and everything continued to

read I rethought things that mattered I

read Rich Dad Poor Dad from Robert

Kiyosaki and cashflow quadrant learned

the mindset of the most successful

people and even he shared his Rich Dad

would say do not go to school start a

business his Poor Dad who was a head

education in Hawaii said go to school

get an education but one was poor the

other one was rich so he decided to

listen to his Rich Dad but I read all

these books and thinking Grow Rich and

how to win Flynn's friends and influence

people by Stephen Covey and our um Dale

Carnegie and Stephen Covey is seven

Habits of Highly Effective all these

classic books so I'm taking in all this

valuable knowledge from the the greatest

people throughout history and things

they've learned and I'm putting that

within myself and I'm applying it and

then the money that I've put into mark

towards my education going to school

University in my tuition these super

expensive books that don't have much

value after you read them I decided that

I was gonna find the courses and the

seminars so for me I decided I want to

learn business great I'm gonna go to

this marketing event this business event

I'm gonna

learn from those people and to go

through these workshops these training

programs and invest my money that way

to develop that education right and then

I'm going to hire mentors and coaches in

my life that can help support me and I

pursuit this not just with my career but

every aspect of my life my health my

body my emotions my relationships and I

treated that way versus a lot of people

to go to college and university and then

once they graduate their learning stops

you know I forget what that statistic

was but very few people end up even

picking up a book after they're done

graduating from college and university

and that's silly because learning is a

lifelong endeavor should always be

learning and growing and I installed

those habits within myself at a young

age and I continued have done that and

guys today I've invested hundreds of

thousands of dollars into myself okay

but the education that I have invested

in myself with has been through the

methods that I've shared with you of

hiring coaches and mentors consultants

events and seminars and masterminds and

courses and training programs and then

of course doing as I go and learning

that way you know I think a lot of

people for example let's say that you

know somebody wants to build a business

and they go to school for that I don't

know how much that costs maybe tens of

thousands of dollars that say to say

thirty thousand dollars well if you were

to take that thirty thousand dollars and

started a business but you had some

direction like some courses or trainings

like learning how to sell on Amazon for

example or doing an online business

affiliate marketing blogging whatever it

is you don't need to invest thirty

thousand dollars you can invest a

thousand two thousand five thousand

dollars right and get the ball rolling

and you're learning but you're learning

what actually matters and what's

practical and you're putting into action

and you know let's say it takes you four

years to graduate school and it cost you

thirty thousand dollars at the end of it

you're left with a degree but if you

were to take that thirty thousand

dollars even a fraction of that and

spend those four years but you're

actually applying and learning that way

by the end of those four years you could

have a million dollar business right not

just end up with a degree that can then

you know you've got to then figure out

how to take all this theory and because

you've been in this passive learning

mode for so long and you just trained

yourself how to remember things but not

actually how to implement

do things you have no emotional

intelligence that's gonna be even more

challenging in my opinion right to

actually implement everything once

you've been in that passive mode for so

long again the best way to learn is by

doing by taking action right it's it's

not just by sitting there in a classroom

and watching and memorizing stuff it's

by taking action and going through

challenges and failures and mistakes

because you're gonna learn so much more

from going through those and conquering

that you ever fucking will by just

sitting in the textbook and reading

above this other person or whatever it

might be so for me that was the reason

why there's a few other reasons as well

but I just realized in terms of what I

could put my money might time into it

was just not efficient it was not going

to get me to where I wanted to go in my

life and I think you gotta get clear on

that it was not conducive to my learning

environment I didn't have the motivation

because I wanted to learn things that

mattered things that were important to

me and I take my education very

seriously today way more seriously I

would say then someone at college or

university does every day I'm reading

I'm studying I'm taking notes I'm

creating flashcards I'm reading them out

loud I'm doing rituals and habits to

prepare myself I'm taking massive action

in my life and every single air in my

life and I'm learning from the mistakes

that I make I have mentors and coaches

that work with me I've got a mastermind

of people that we support each other

with and I want to ask you who's gonna

get further in life who will get further

in life I would argue to say it's the

person that has all of that and looks at

ways to efficiently and effectively get

to where they want to go so that's my

mindset that's my approach and I think

the challenge is if you're young and you

live with your parents they're gonna try

to control you and determine what's best

for you and it's not it's because they

love you and they don't know any other

way they have certainty they have their

beliefs that's their model of the world

and it can be challenging to educate

them that we live in a different world

today and there's many different options

and ways that you can educate and I had

to go through the difficult situation

when I was young to to kind of sever

ties if you will look my dad because he

had a vision for my life that was

different than my own and I knew what my

vision was and what I wanted so I had to

decide you know what I'm gonna go

against what you had to rebel against it

and

it's difficult for a few years my

relationship with them to be honest but

I'm grateful that I did he's proud of me

today immensely and you know it is

something that I see a lot of young kids

go through and I think getting that

clarity for yourself knowing what you

want do it for you not for anybody else

make smart decisions for your life you

know you if you're in that position when

you're 18 or 19 years old you should be

able to make your own decisions for your

life or now an adult and getting clarity

and for yourself but I think self

development self education is the most

valuable things continue to learn and

grow and improve understand that the

best way to learn again is by doing fine

people that have the results you want

learn from that invest in yourself of

course just as you would with a school

or education but get clear on that and

create a better plan that can actually

get you to where you want to go so

that's my story hopefully this can add a

different perspective or a different way

or a different path for you to creating

success but I think again it depends on

what do you want only you can answer

that for you if you want to be if you

determine the best pay to get to what

you want to go is by going to school

great but if you realize that it's not

that's okay too

there's many other ways to grow and

learn and I wanted to share that with
