#InspirationMBA: How to Build the Business and Life of Your Dreams

Does this sound like you? You are a highly motivated person with lots of passions and interests. You are working a job, or have worked a series of jobs where you perhaps learned a lot but weren’t interested in the career path in front of you. You want more for yourself and you know you deserve and are capable of more. So many of you have expressed to me how much you want to bring change to your life and take control of your destiny, so you turn to me day after day for fresh information and inspiration for your journey. As a natural born teacher and a constant student myself, I love sharing my knowledge with you in the hopes that I can help you make your life better. Although I provide you many ongoing resources both through my own products and content as well as the content and products of others, I know most of you don’t have the luxury of time that I have to spend on continuing your education, so helping you make the most of your time is important to me. A few weeks ago I hinted that I wanted to start a new series on my blog but had been waiting for the right moment so that I could give this series the time and attention it deserves. Today, I am very pleased to announce that this is the first installment in an ongoing series I am featuring on my blog called #InspirationMBA!

#InspirationMBA will be a monthly post on the blog where I will take a single piece of highly valuable content from around the web and break it down into something of a lesson plan, outlining why I think the content is important and what you will learn from it. Like I said earlier, I know you don’t have all the time in the world to learn all the ins and outs of business and productivity, so I want to make it easier for you to learn by identifying the best content that you can act upon immediately. So many people just don’t have the time or the money to spend on additional education, but I hope that this series helps you to open your mind and continue your own education through self study guided by me.
