Can you turn your college business into a million-dollar enterprise? Abso-freakin-lutely. All you need is a great idea, excellent follow-through and, of course, a little help.
‘First, you have to have an idea that can be scaled that large,’ says Cameron Johnson, author of You Call the Shots and a veteran entrepreneur at age 22. ‘If [your market is limited to] your own campus, it’s going to be very difficult to get to a million dollars in sales.’
Come up with a business idea that can grow nationwide or even worldwide, says Johnson, whose most recent venture is EasyFollowups.com, a company that helps small businesses connect with customers. Also, choose a business that’s your passion, because you’ll be eating, breathing and dreaming it for the foreseeable future. Finally, get past your fears of business startup - and realize that there’s no better time to launch than college. ‘[Some people] are afraid to get started, or they don’t know how to take the first step,’ says Johnson. ‘You’ve got to push those thoughts out the window.’
