- 'C' Students Are Risk Takers
This is another entrepreneurship quality that can be found in 'C' students. They persist till they succeed.

- They Are Not Submissive Followers
We have earlier stated that the 'C' students don't fully trust the academic system because it teaches them to submissively regurgitate the answers that their teachers expect from them. While this is okay to the 'A' students because they want their 'A's, the 'C' students are the unpredictable group that question every thing.They are in the group of the ...yes, but team. For example, Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg dropped out of colleges to pursue their careers.They didn't follow the normal routines but created their own paths.
- 'C' Students Have People's Skill
Another fact that differentiates the 'C' students from the 'A' students is that the 'C' students tend to have better social skills. Besides experimenting in the work force, they also devout themselves into building networks that can be of great benefit to them when the enter the real world.While in the case of the 'A' students, they believe they have everything needed to perform all life's tasks and won't need any extra help or network because they have validation from their report cards. The case is quite different in the 'C'students because they admit that they need help and also appreciate anyone that helps them in any little way.
When a 'C' student interacts with other individuals, they make them feel spacial and valued. They have a super-charge that drags people towards them.
- They Find Simpler Ways To Get Things Done
'C' students tend to be lazy and find the easiest short-cuts to getting their tasks done. They prefer investing their time and efforts towards pursuing their dreams.

A practical example of this is Bill Gates, he said "choose a lazy person to do a job because he'll find an easy way to do it'.
- 'C' Students Are Dreamers
'C' students are great dreamers and always think of achieving great things. As a good teacher, you should always pay attention to them because their minds wander so easily in the course of lectures. This is because they are more interested in thinking about what they ant to do in life rather than being stuck in the four walls of a classroom. They already have a blueprint of their future after their graduation.- 'C' Students Have Their Own Definition Of Success
'C' students don't cultivate the ideology of straight 'A's meaning a successful life. The fact that education is important can't be denied, but they know that there are other means to becoming successful outside the classroom. They pursue their ambitions using orthodox methods through part time jobs, networking or self-starting. They possess skills that should be found in every entrepreneur and that's the spirit of risk-takers, dreamer, innovators, people persons and they are also not afraid of failure.These are some of the reasons 'C' students make great bosses while the 'A'ones become their employees. 'C'students decide what they want done and the 'A' student follow the instructions to get them done. In the present age where everything is becoming digital, getting good grades in taking the back burner while acquiring relevant skills is becoming more and more valuable.
Most employees are now looking for work experiences gathered through the years and the skills you've acquired from doing so.
But notwithstanding, success is not determined by grade or level of education but it takes proseful drive and determination.
There are many 'C' students that don't eventually become hugely successful entrepreneurs and there are also many'A' students that do well in the entrepreneurial and business world.
