Folks You Are Close To That Have Dropped Out Of College

[DCAllAfrican]

A few young dudes that I coached a few years back, are "smoked out" from what I have been told. I speak to them regularly and I see it but me simply telling them, "You need to get back in school" isn't helping the situation.

What would you suggest? I know they want to have to help themselves but they obviously don't see the bigger picture. They aren't resisting, they are just "living life" right now.

How would you handle this?

What are some programs for drop outs or suggestions.

Yeah, CC is pretty laid back. Take classes at your own pace.

I've been reading and doing a lot of research on successful people lately and their similarities and what sets them apart from average people.

The answer is - if you want to be extremely successful, the very highest, you have to do something different from what most people do. Most people chase success, but not extreme success. I'm talking about what separates those who make 7 figures a year and the Mark Zuckerbergs/Larry Pages/Sergey Brins/Warren Buffets.

A lot of people go to college for success. They use it to get a job and then move up the corporate ladder, basically following the standard American dream. But this will only get you the "average" success... you need to think/want more than just being successful if you really want to rise. If you do what everyone else does, you'll be just like everyone else.

College is not a means to an end. You should use it as a tool, more for the experiences and learning opportunities than what it will give you tangibly.

If your boys are not in college because they have a great idea, make sure you remember to push them to capitalize on it. There's a high failure rate, but if they're willing to pursue it and take that chance they could come out very successful. College is very important - it provides a foundation for future jobs/references and teaches you a lot. But the thing is that a lot of people see college as their ticket to the rest of their life. If you really want to make it to the absolute top... keep in mind college is only a small part of your grand plan.

good stuuf on lookin out for the youngins man. generativity. what do you coach?

honestly i'm not too sure if there are programs for this. you can refer them to rehab if the kush life is really taking over. but just keep mentoring man.

it's tough to motivate someone who is complacent. but don't walk away.
