Takes balls to laugh at yourself. (b) If all else fails, you surely can become a writer. ;-) (c) MBAs + Consultants - esp. with no practical biz experience - should not try to start businesses. It is best to learn in another small company by doing it even if for free. E.g. invoicing is really 101 - something an MBA doesn't teach! So much for an MBA (d) Get rich quick start-ups are a fantasy driven by the media - like a lot of other things. The data* repeatedly suggests it is a sure shot way to lose money. *e.g. 4 in 5 business die in Y1. (e) Bootstrap at the smallest level. Get the right business model. Right = one that makes money today. Only dictum to go by, at least for starters. Best of Luck! PS: Am guilty of all of the above, including the Ivy MBA! ;-) (a) This is a great story.
