Homework!

I started my new MBA class on Friday. It was actually really awesome. The class is all about starting a new venture and the professor told some amazing stories about businesses that he’s triumphed. The following is paraphrased

Prof: “and if you follow the strategies of this book you can almost assure success because it goes about product development in a more surefire way. There will be times when you can’t think of ideas and are struggling to get off the ground but when you do you’ll succeed. At one point I was unemployed for 14 month and that was a very stressful time. But when I finally got the business off the ground I was earning about $30,000 a month.”

Wait… what?

Unfortunately, as we were leaving class a student asked for the syllabus

“oh, I’m sorry. I’ll have a syllabus for you next time. Just read the book and we’ll talk about it in our next class.”
“how far should we go in the book.”
“no, you misunderstood me. Read the book. Finish it for next class.”

darn it!

Anyway, the countdown is on. It’s been a long time since this post. But I’m finally on the home stretch. I have a notably finite number of classes left at school (both schools), in fact, I think I can change the units from months to days to hours left.

Soon. soon.

    That professor sounds like an infomercial guy selling you the keys to success.

    I agree – Jon Abad runs the internet, and if he’s never heard of the guy, something’s definitely suspicious.
    Reconsider – is this guy full of bologna? Maybe he’s already got your credit card number!

    Maybe this guy is making his money by selling his book, which in turn tells you how to write a book and sell it for money, then get a job teaching so all of your students HAVE to buy your book.

    ahh, but it’s not the teacher’s book. It’s just some random book by some other guy.

    Unless it’s a pseudonym. hmm… interesting.

    I like the ghost-written pyramid scheme book idea. If this turns out not to be the case, I will be sorely disappointed.
