What schools never taught us about business...

"You can start now by identifying small things in order to change the bigger things sooner than you think."

Most of us spend many hours and days contemplating on how to be financially successful. The truth is, nothing manifested or summoned itself out of the blue just by thinking of ideas to become successful. In fact, one of the first things I noticed was how much we talk about money, how much we want, but how little we share ideas and if they are carried out for that matter. School, for most, was more focused on literate studies and sports.

For most of us, school never taught us about:

forex trading;
price indexes;
price analysis;
cryptocurrency (quite a recent thing, and they still don't)
the importance of time (although schools take time and cost money)
closing deals by creating a need for a product or a service.
fees in general
drawing up agreements, how agreements work, types of agreements etc.

Some of us went to schools that did provide courses on some of the topics, but did you become wealthy? No, it cost money. Hopefully you became wealthy in knowledge. So what if we began to trade and sell products and services from a younger age? Contract law forbid that you be held liable for selling fake things or didn't provide a service correctly. If we could go back and start to line up our products, our trade during the time we spent training on the sports field or studied too deep into getting that chemistry formula perfect (these things are also important). That would be a good head-start toward financial success without incurring liability as minor children.

"Ask successful older people: How did you manage to survive through financial challenges? I am sure they will say..."

Entering adulthood and the life of full-time employees, the first and most important thing we had to realize very quickly was the concept of time - how much we have and how much we can spend on doing something. Ask older people: How did you manage to get along and survive financial challenges? I am sure they will say: "it is the daily habits and all the small things you do that make the biggest difference in the long run." Well how about that. If we did many small things from a younger age we would be somewhere else, having more or less than we do now, with more experience! It's not too late. You can start now by identifying small things in order to change the bigger things sooner than you think.
