I can personally relate to this because I been in business for several years, and I am still a college student. I always did what I liked (computer technology came naturally to me), and somehow it led me from enjoying car stereos in high school, to installing them for clients with my friend, and years later has led our company to where we are now: my daily job involved dealing with CEOs of international companies to provide them with in-taxi and in-bus digital & interactive advertising solutions. The moral of the story is dare to be stupid and FOLLOW YOUR PASSION! Great job on the article.

I agree sometimes we cannot be afraid to be stupid. Too often we're so afraid of being looked upon as a fool that we fail to ask questions on things we don't understand. What I believe is 'Ask and be deemed a fool for that moment than to not ask and be a fool for the rest of your life'. Good article. I agree sometimes we cannot be afraid to be stupid.

Being what I would call an accidental entrepreneur, I was never fully prepared to own my own company. Now I'm paying the price because I have no strategy, no plan. So, if I can move the "stupidness" around a little bit so that I can regain control and plan for success. I have been stupid.

Sometimes knowing too much can cause you to hesitate when you shouldn't. Might be a good topic for me to follow up on :) Hi Tara – Yeah, I totally agree with you.

Sometimes it's better not to know too much. I agree with this – I was ’stupid’ before I started my business, and I think if I hadn’t been it might have frightened me out of it!

And actually I'm now in the moment were I think should I just follow my passion and be a little stupid to stop my school in the last year.... :/ It is costing me a enormous amount of energy to do something for school. And I feel that I don't need that stupid paper... So this post makes me think, thanks for that ;-) R Very nice article.
