Summary:

Audie Award Finalist, Business and Educational, 2013

Getting an MBA is an expensive choice - one almost impossible to justify regardless of the state of the economy. Even the elite schools like Harvard and Wharton offer outdated, assembly-line programs that teach you more about PowerPoint presentations and unnecessary financial models than what it takes to run a real business. You can get better results (and save hundreds of thousands of dollars) by skipping business school altogether.... 

Josh Kaufman founded PersonalMBA.com as an alternative to the business school boondoggle. His blog has introduced hundreds of thousands of readers to the best business books and most powerful business concepts of all time. Now, he shares the essentials of entrepreneurship, marketing, sales, negotiation, operations, productivity, systems design, and much more, in one comprehensive volume. 

The Personal MBA distills the most valuable business lessons into simple, memorable mental models that can be applied to real-world challenges. 

True leaders aren't made by business schools - they make themselves, seeking out the knowledge, skills, and experience they need to succeed. Read this book and you will learn the principles it takes most business professionals a lifetime of trial and error to master.

SpeakerText Transcript of the Track:
Ming-Ming asks: What do you think about recent online video courses? Are those a better way of learning than reading books? It actually depends on the skill that you want. to learn. So Ming-Ming asks about programming specifically or IT type topics. Where there are a lot of courses that in a couple days can really guide you through a topic It actually depends very much on the topic you're studying. 

So if there are good, focused courses that are designed to get you a result quickly. They can be fantastic. For example, when I was in the process of learning Ruby, I found an online course it was called PeepCode. I think it was put together by Dan Benjamin, who now runs the 5by5 podcasting network but he's also a programmer. 

And he put together this really nice short course that was an introduction to Sinatra. Those types of things can be really, really great. So, if you find a course that meshes with your target performance level, so it's designed to get you the result that you're looking for and it is reasonably compact so it's something that you can go through in a couple hours as opposed to a couple weeks, then fantastic. absolutely use those resources. I think the disadvantage about a lot of courses is they can be overly academic, so focused on having you memorize bunch of information instead of practice the thing you want to get good at. 

I think the other thing too, it's much harder to skim through a course than it is through a book. So one of the things that I like about picking up books or those types of printed resources is that you can go through a lot of them in a short period of time. So, if you pick up three to five books on a topic, you can skim through all of them and really see the ideas and the concepts and the techniques that come up over and over again, which is a very clear signal that those things are really important. 

And with a course, particularly longer courses, it's much more difficult to do that type of early research. So, in general, I tend to look for the books and similar sorts of resources first but if I can find a good course or I can find a good instructor and those things are designed to bring me to the result I want as quickly as possible. 

Then absolutely. Use the courses, use the resources. Find the instructors. It really is a judgement call. based on what it is you want to do. Hope that helps
