Well, they say getting an MBA is 70% the knowledge you get 25% the connections you make and 5% the certificate to get your foot in the door. I’ve read all the top MBA books, had tons of discussions with executives and entrepenuers, ad have worked in multiple jobs, roles and companies including managing/leading others and working for myself. I’ve met tons of other leaders, executives, entrepenuers and leaders in my field, and although I don’t have the certificate, I have the experience and ability to sell myself. And above all, I’ve actually started my own real company. So I feel like I can pretty much check this one off the list. Plus, I stayed in a Holiday Inn express last night :)

I banged the rock against the steel trying to scratch off a small piece into the next of twine hair ball and burnt cloth. I could get the spark to land in the nest but then when i picked it up to blow it into a fire it kept goin… Read how I did it…
