You CAN Run a Business WITHOUT a Degree | Daymond John

[@sjb1566]

10 Things School didn’t teach you: 1. What success really is 2. Finding you passion 3. The right way to start a business 4. Managing your time 5. Financial intelligence 6. Communicating with customers 7. Emotional and Mental Awareness 8. Selling your ass off 9. Negotiating 10. Facing your failure

Selling to myself is another top sale that's always on the market

[@robertjones7023]

When I was a kid I had very little direction from my family. My dad went into the Navy and then worked at Kodak for 30 years, no college. We moved out of state five times to avoid layoffs. My mom would be happy if I was a supermarket grocery clerk. Despite these low expectations, poor grades, and learning disabilities, somehow, I knew there was more to being successful in life. Thankfully I had a number of teachers in high school who saw something in me that I did not see in myself. At the time I thought that success was going to college was the ticket to getting a ‘good job’. I worked as a landscaper, and a waiter to put myself through community college. Afterward, I transferred into a Landscape Architecture program. I thrived in this program earning President's honors for three years. After this program, I was in a world of trouble, drowning in student loan debt. I was laid off in the great recession, unable to make student loan payments, my debt ballooned to nearly double what I had originally taken out. It took nearly ten years to pay this down. During this time, I studied for and passed the Landscape Architecture license exam. I am now licensed in four states and have worked all over the country. I have worked for the top Architecture and Engineering firms in Upstate NY and suppose that this would have met my definition of success ten years ago. However, my definition has changed, to be a great leader and manager. I have had horrible bosses over the years which has helped to shape my interest in this area. Seeing people get promoted until they fail and staying stuck at that threshold, or a company promoting a top designer into management without proper management skills is the norm. This approach sets good people up for failure and then they get stuck at a level that they are not competent in. I completely agree that our education system has missed most of the fundamentals of business and basic money management skills. Last year, I started listening to audio leadership and management books. In one year I finished 20. These were playing during my commute to work, in the background at work, before I went to bed. Every waking moment, I devoted myself to learning these skills. My new definition of success is focused on being the best leader and manager that I can be. But, I am not done yet. Daymond, Thank you for sharing your failures, successes, and experiences. You are an inspiration to me and help keep me motivated to be a better version of myself so that I can provide greater value to the world. Both of my kids have dyslexia, when they get frustrated or are feeling down I remind them of you and the other sharks with dyslexia. You are a reminder to us that despite this challenge they can become successful like you. Thank you.

Am I the only one who thinks that school taught me nothing about life? 😂 Loving your videos! 👌🏻

[@Money_J_KC]

School taught me math (my best subject) and to not conform to the masses and do your own thing. So far, those lessons have done me very well. Unfortunately, they didn't actually teach not to conform to the masses, I just figured that out on my own based off of how schools operate

[@jamescole9625]

Your correct it doesn't . but then again it dose. Just say if you're from a family of business people, school would have you on point because you'll already have the drive to get stuff done from the family or friends. But without that school doesn't teach you street life and how to get a idea going but it teaches you how to survive in the world

[@heatherc4416]

School teaches you to be an employee, not a boss

[@DeeDee_Stands_On_Business]

Exactly! 👍

[@nonyab3843]

Follow the crowd mindset

[@nonyab3843]

Deymond John, I follow you on LinkedIn, I have been following you from almost the beginning when I stumbled in to LinkedIn, lol. At 51 yo and been a private caregiver for a number of years, the learning curve trying to get back into public working, has been a damn full time job in itself. I vowed I would not be left behind, tech wise, current and future. I think I had actually resigned myself to ????, and that has never been me. I don't even think I have 6 people that I am linked to, lol. I always come away renewed though. I hate I didn't know you were on KZbin before. Its nice to sit back and listen sometimes instead of being in a chat. ✌️ INDEPENDENT THINKING is one thing that schools seem to lack, I feel sometimes on purpose. Keep em corraled kind of mentality. Have a great evening...

God bless you for sharing your guidance and knowledge

The communication at around 7:30 is critical couldn't be more spot on it's key to humans be able to survive to be honest 🤯 have me thinking for sure thank you ☺️

Very under rated channel. Thank you Mr Daymond!

You are right on the money with these tips brother Damon. College doesn't give you these foundational tools you mentioned and we all needs those skills so badly as we exit school. Thanks for the great value. Chris Mercer

Hi Daymond yes when I was in school no one helped me find out what I'm truly passionate about however I love pea coats getting dressed very dapperly.

Hello DAYMOND! God Bless You for sharing these things that school literally never taught me. 👏👏👏 Can you please make a video on the business principles and rules that we all must know and use to make a successful business?!

[@fernandoduarte6514]

School doesn't teach me how to be successful and be my own boss If you want to be rich, have the mindset of the rich, spend less and invest more, cos 90% millionaires are investors

[@jenkinzbrown9519]

Very true...most people have become multi billionaires through Bitcoin investments I don't think they used school knowledge or certificate to be what they are today.

[@grahamroberto6578]

Am very much interested in investing on crypto currency but don't know if is the right thing to do

[@diegopaula7675]

Investing in crypto is the most profitable investment due to its huge profits and future benefits

[@lorenzosantos4825]

Bitcoin is the future.investing in it now will be the wisest thing to do especially with its current rise

[@nicoleanderson316]

Buying of Bitcoin is not the problem, investing with the right expert is

[@jthespiceoflife]

Good evening sir, great list. I was looking at your suits and saw some really nice stuff. Could I ask why they are all slim fit or modern fit? Why no classic or regular fit suits? Skinny and Slim are just cut weird and they honestly don't fit most men. But you have some really nice patterns and look of the suits just if you could offer suits that actually fit normal men and not cut to squeeze the life out of your body. Thanks.

Hello Daymond, I found the information included in this video very informative. This information will be put to good use in building a sturdy foundation retrofitted for my own business. Also just as a side note. The link to your KZbin channel is a broken link. It leads to a 404 error page informing "This page isn't available. Sorry about that. Try searching for something else." The same is true about your Instagram page. Just thought you'd like to know so if possible they could be fixed.

[@STuTe51]

Hey Daymond, are you guys on Shark Tank allowed to recommend “Honest” Patent Attorneys we can use. I’ve been ripped off so many times by patent attorneys when they want to rewrite and resubmit the descriptions of my ideas charging thousands of dollars each time until what started at $5000, is now well over $10,000. I run out of money and the attorney has my idea. Who do you use as your Patent Attorney? I want to come on Shark Tank with an Invention that You would absolutely love.

Besides learning to read and write, school is the biggest waste of time in an individuals life. People get Away with things in school, that as an adult you would go to jail for.

I have admired Daymond for many years on Shark Tank. However, 01/06/21 I bought his Daymond On Demand service and never received the downloads. I tried several times to contact his customer service by email and phone with no response. Now I am dealing with my credit card for a refund. Very disappointing and a waste of my time.

[@THERESTHAT89]

I have respect for the story, but I earned two degree free of charge and still have plans to become an entrepreneur. All of the other sharks have degrees. I would advise people of color to get an education and then start a business.
