If you don't have common sense, you’re not gonna make it.

We live in a world where people got college degrees and can't even get a job.

That's sad.

Do you know what will guarantee you work whether as an entrepreneur on your own, or working for somebody else in a great job?

The ability to see the big picture, have common sense and take action. It's so important to be able to give people insight and not just be a robot.

Guess how much money you're gonna make being a robot?

Minimum wage.

I’m not making fun of people who work in that environment, I'm just giving you the way the economy and life works. If you go back to any period of time, that has always been the norm.

If you just take orders, there's not much of a future for you. You need to be someone who makes decisions.

I want to give you some tips that will get you a job without a degree:

Common Sense
First, understand common sense isn't common. A lot of us think, “common sense is common.”

No, common sense is an acquired skill just like if you want to learn Spanish or Mandarin, Chinese. You have to acquire that skill through study, through repetition and listening to other people teach you.

Find a coach, a mentor, or teacher.

I thought I had common sense till I went to work for my first mentor Joel Salatin and he was like, "Look man, you don't know jack about life. You don't understand anything." I thought I did. I had gone through high school, I was a smart student, but in terms of putting together the big picture, I struggled.
