NO Degree Needed: Rob Dyrdek





























Rob Dyrdek is someone I really look up to, his carefree business practices and "have fun" attitude are practices I want to implement into my own business. I decided to make Rob Dydek the first person I feature for that reason. Heres how Rob Dyrdek did it....Rob Dyrdek grew up in Ohio, and after discovering the skateboard became ingrained in the small but passionate local skate scene. Quickly becoming a pro, he moved to San Diego to engulf himself in the real skateboarding Mecca at the time, San Diego, and received lucrative sponsorships. Most interesting about Rob’s rise to wealth is that during his early career he would negotiate a small equity stake in his sponsors. After this, Rob began to branch out his business enterprise but was unsuccessful in his first few ventures, one of which was a skateboarding retail store. In this video below from Inc., Dyrdek Rdescribes his upbringing, and also some of the important lessons he learned while pursuing different business opportunities. The best part is that Rob Dyrdek has all this success with.... NO Degree Needed!
