Q&A For Santa Rosa Academy High School #3

December 11, 2017

Since late 2016 I’ve been involved with the seniors in the business / entrepreneur track at Santa Rosa Academy, a charter school near me here in SoCal whose motto is “Developing a Habit of Mind for Success.”

I know the founder, Laura Badillo, who, with her husband started this school in their garage in 2005.

Today they are at capacity—1,500 students—and a waiting list of over 4,000!

So I am proud of their success, their goals, and their vision, which is why I do what I can to support them and encourage their students to go on and succeed. 

After my last talk to the seniors in Mrs. Jenkins’s class the students hade some follow-up questions.

I had been replying via private video but today I decided to make a Facebook Live video then download it and use my Vimeo platform to host it here on a blog post. 

Today’s question(s) comes from Amne who writes:

Were you sure that your business would be successful in the beginning?

How much knowledge did you have about running a business before you started your business?
