Starting College Tomorrow.. (In The Middle Of A Start-Up)

[GetShitDone]

Hey guys, I am starting college tomorrow and I'm taking business courses 5 days a week. (This isn't my choice and my parents/family have pushed me into taking college no matter what due to the same old middle class thinking.)

Anyways, I am in the middle of launching my massive marketing campaign of 300,000 direct advertising materials for high income earning homes for my specific business. I really do believe in it and know it will work due to the many systems, processes, testing, research, analysis, etc. (The whole 9 years).

Basically my question is: Will I have time to manage my large marketing campaign and launching my business and juggle it with college if I have classes 5 days a week (2-4 hours of class per day)?

This goes for any business in general if (god forbid) this business was to fail. For example, for my next start up.

Any college going and running a start up at the same time type jugglers?

Thanks guys, I really hope I can kick this thing off and get out of college as I have never been a big fan of theory or letting an test score determine my faith (School system in general).

I don't see why this should be that much of a problem. Lot's of businesses get their start during college years. This may teach you many things, time management, resource management, use of technology, etc. You will have more to contribute to some of your classes. Good luck.

Agree with Runum. I'm starting tomorrow (I also have a full time job) and definitely have to improve my time management skills. Here are a couple of things I will be doing:

* Defining tasks/goals for the week each weekend
* Outsourcing non-essential but necessary tasks
* Considering the purchase of a bicycle to save time going from home to college, and viceversa

Depends on how smart you are and how tough the program is.
It might be hard at the beginning. However, once you figure out the system, you'll find some loopholes and ways to get through with minimal effort.
