I have 6 months left in school and I've start making a little bit of buck from blogging. So should I become a full time blogger? The point 2 in your post makes me think through what I've done now.

There's not just 1 way or strategy or road to making money and being successful. There are many ways but successful people always pick one way and stick to it. Most people don't stick long enough and blame something or someone. Most people do need direction and a straight forward action plan to succeed but there are always exceptions to rules or the norm. I agree with these point but just to give another point of view. Point 1 was about doing research, well if you look at the invention of the car or the walkman (portable music). Research told the inventors that people didn't want portable music and not a car, they wanted a faster horse but in the end they persisted and succeed but research didn't exactly do them any good. They went against what research told them. Point 2 is about leaving school. Many people have succeeded and have not finished school. We all know that Bill gates dropped out of school and college. He is an exception but a story we all should know. Leaving the educational system is not the end, everybody should be educating themselves on an ongoing bases but if you leave school and stop learning that's a big NO NO. Point 3. About writing up a business plan. It's a smart idea because it can help focus you and your business to where you want to go but that also can mean that you are not open to ideas, strategies, marketing and research just because your business plan doesn't mention them. I just think if it weren't for the people breaking the rules and norms, we wouldn't have half the world we have today.
