It sounds like a great opportunity to learn!Hey Kyle @Kak - have a question going back to this.
I have an opportunity to go and be an apprentice of an owner and CEO who is very successful in the addiction rehab space.
There's a couple of concerns I have -
1. It's got nothing to do with the industry I've stepped foot in
2. He is over 70 years old, not a young entrepreneur (not sure this matters)
Is this something you think is worth jumping on to get experience and knowledge, and spotting opportunity?
Or would watching the CEO of a company that's too big be out of the realm of practicality?
Obviously just asking for opinion, not a definitive answer.
Thanks!
I don’t know your whole situation, but thinking back on my 19th year of life, learning from a CEO would have been more beneficial to me than a bunch of gen ed garbage.
Learning business is learning an art. Everyone will have a different style and different industries they are attracted to. I don’t think it matters. You’ll have lessons you will probably recall for the rest of your life.
Over 70 wouldn’t bother me at all. I have a 70 something retired chemical CEO on my advisory board and he’s one of my best friends.
There’s no such thing as too big to learn from.
My apologies for the brief answers. Had a busy day and came down with something.
