Instead of going to business school, consider spending 6 intense months with Seth Godin and a few other amazing people.
This is not an internship and you don't get paid. This is a highly selective MBA-Like experience where you get a solid education and great experience. Here's what a typical day will look like:
One hour a day of class/dialogue
Four hours a day of working on Seth Godin's projects
Three hours a day of working on your personal project
Five hours a day of living, noticing, doing and connecting
If you're anything like me, then you've probably considered going to business school. AND, after countless hours of browsing the top MBA programs you've wondered two things. First, do you have a shot at getting in? And second, is it really worth $100,000+ and two years of your life.
After all, a quick glance at the Forbes list of the world's richest people reveals that few have MBA's. More importantly, when you consider all of the people who have been world changers, only a handful went to
business school.
So, what's an ambitious 20-something to do?
