I think and act based on experience and rational judgement to meet goals.
I do a lot of research and development for a tech startup that facilitates volunteerism and social entrepreneurship. I spend half of my days orchestrating all fronts of the business from investor relations to strategy and internal team dynamics. The other half is dedicated to other startups I am involved with or trying to create. They all start with a good idea, a business plan, some branding, a presentation, investor relations, entity filing, website with copy, story maps, etc.
Here's the first step for college students
Travel, do seasonal work, write business plans, write in a journal every day, never stop thinking about how things can be better, treat yourself to quality but know your means, sometimes you will have to eat peanut butter. Always question but be careful about voicing your opinion, stay neutral in the moment, attack when you have a competitive advantage. Justice over mercy, be generous, understand your environment, know your weaknesses and conquer them. Be healthy, navigate the lows & backpack.
