And You Save $99,950 With Urban FIRE
From my friend Boku Kodama:
A 2-Year MBA program will cost you as much as $100,000 and come to find out: won't give you any greater edge in your business skills, no signifiant edge in how much you'll make or improve your rise to the top of the corporate ladder. It might be just as good and far cheaper to rent the 1967 movie, "How to Succeed In Business Without Really Trying" and use the techniques in that musical. Singing and dancing are recommended options.
These are the conclusions from a research entitled "The End of Business Schools? Less Success Than Meets the Eye," an exhaustive study of 40 years of data on the nation's MBA programs published in the Academy of Management Learning and Education back in September 2002.
You've probably never heard of this study because the humungous hammer of the Business School industry has successfully nailed the information into a coffin. Today, we have more than doubled the number of MBA programs across the country because we've been lead to believe that an MBA will provide advancements to our careers. It is one of the most financially lucrative courses for universities, but for the majority of graduates, it means 12 years of debt.
The real truth from the vast library of scientific research on successful performance is eyeopening, simple to understand and downright cheap. The Rules of Succeeding in business and anything else is quite clear: learn the fundamentals and go out and see if they work in your field of interest because the "doing" is where you find out what works and what doesn't. Then, what doesn't work is corrected and simply put, you've learned what can succeed. If you need examples, try Warren Buffett, Ophray Winfried, Alice Waters, Steve Jobs and Bill Gates.
If you're like the tens of thousands who have been layed off, been working a thankless job to pay off that student loan or been on unemployment longer than you can remember, then learn the fundamentals, experiment without risks and see how much you can truly accomplish. Actually, you'll be blown away by how much you can achieve.
You'll not only save $99,950, you'll actually learn skills that'll will serve a lifetime. Enrollment for the Urban FIRE entrepreneurship training begins now for our final 2011 semester beginning April 9. Enrollment is limited to 20 over the 12-week semester meeting each Saturday from 9am to 12pm.
