How to teach entrepreneurs...?
You could certainly argue that there are resources well beyond what I can supply on this topic. But just because what I say isn't exhaustive doesn't mean it's not TRUE. What follows is a summary of the best principles I have observed and tried to follow in my years of teaching entrepreneurs, engineers, writers and high-school Algebra students. If they're too brief or too vague, that's only because one size doesn't fit all.- Start with baby steps. Remember how a baby walks, man. Tiny little steps with tiny little feet on wobbly legs, holding on to anything it can reach on the way, and falling on its baby ass more often than not. Sure, you gotta help that baby be safe; but you gotta let it fall too, so baby learns to get back up. You have to show baby more than one way to get to the same place; but you gotta let baby choose which way. And if baby can't get there fast enough, maybe baby can't go just yet.
- Find out what they've learned. Make sure to check regularly, especially after a baby-ass landing. If they haven't learned anything from it, maybe they're not ready to go further.
- They're never too young for a sanity check. Make sure they've read the signs and looked both ways. Make sure they haven't forgotten anything. Make sure they know where they're going, how to get there, and when they have to arrive. Make sure they know who to call and when. And for the love of mercy make sure they take notes. :-)
