My Homemade MBA

Harvard Business School MBA Program

“My name is Noah Kagan and I go to Haaarvard”, that is right
bitches. Sounds impressive right but that would require 2 years,
reading tons of books, late nights in libraries & lots of fake
networking.

Good deal huh? Well for some but I do not think it is for me right now. So here is what I am going to do about it.

Instead of spending 2 years in a classroom I am going to LIVE OUT my
MBA for 1 year. I am going to get real world experience by creating a
company. Reading tons of books around my interest, meet other people
out in the work force who are changing the world & hopefully create
a successful/sustainable business.

This would require increase dedication and focus. I don’t think it
would need to even be a great idea beyond working harder on the
businesses I am already doing. I think most businesses do well not
because of the idea but because of execution and the confidence in the
executer.

Think about if you are a hiring manager and two people come to you
looking for a job. One worked in a cubicle, took orders, spent 2 years
in graduate school and can make some great coffee. Second candidate
started their own dotCOM business, hired/fired a few people and failed
miserably.

Who do you want on your team?
