First, let me state my bias upfront. I have an MBA and the equivalent of two PhDs – in entrepreneurship and ecommerce. I need you to know that before you read what I am about to say. I didn’t become financially independent at age 42 because of my MBA and PhDs… Read on if you want to hear it like it really is…
From Lehman Brothers, the Royal Bank of Scotland, Merrill Lynch, Bear Stearns and AIG, the so-called Management Gurus in their ivory towers with their multi-million dollar inflated incomes, prestigious management degrees and extensive experience never saw it coming. These Masters of Disaster failed to put their finger on the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) and now have their fingerprints forever imprinted on the annals of history and the largest financial fiasco ever witnessed in modern times.
In fact graduate MBAs are emerging haunted by a tag that brands them as Mediocre But Arrogant, Mighty Big Attitude, or Me Before Anyone and Management By Accident. Masters of the Business Apocalypse probably is more appropriate in an economy that spiraled totally out of control.
The Global Financial Crisis is a stunning and sobering testimony to the failure of leadership along the management hierarchy, but more importantly of the education provided by business schools.
Wouldn’t you agree that the business institutions that charge thousands churn out business leaders might feel some remorse at having failed? Not in the least! It’s business as usual, with the very same people trying to rein in the horse and fix the problem when the horse has already bolted out of the barn.
On the other hand take a look at some outstanding successes. Entrepreneurs who have etched their names in the history books, from Bill Gates of Microsoft, Larry Page and Sergey Brin of Google to Richard Branson, Michael Dell and Lakshmi Mittal. There’s not an MBA between them.
Yet the management factories continue to proliferate, and business schools generate healthy returns. Approximately 500,000 people worldwide graduate annually with Masters Of Business Administration. Around 150,000 of those graduating in the United States go on to create their own management teams within global businesses.
The thought that’s probably running in your mind right now is “As an entrepreneur or business owner is business education just a waste of time? Will it actually damage the economic health of my business?
Imagine for a moment what would happen if doctors or lawyers wreaked such havoc in their professions. Medical and Law schools would have to overhaul their entire curriculum.
So why are the management factories sitting pretty?
Despite the economic downturn, applications to business schools continue to pour in. What are the applicants thinking? Gazing into the future it’s evident that MBAs are unlikely to be in such high demand. Forking out over $40,000 for a two-year MBA to acquire knowledge that is out of sync with the realities of modern business… the recovery process will be long and hard.
Entrepreneurs and business owners are now viewing the MBA degree with an increasing level of skepticism. They now question the value of a business degree that has led supposedly brilliant elite professionals, trained in every aspect of management, to cause such a devastating effect on the economy.
Here’s why a management degree fails to deliver. It’s simple really. The curriculum of a university management degree does not train anyone how to think and act exponentially. Surprising, considering everything they teach you about business ‘functions’. You gain the confidence of expressing yourself with alacrity in meetings where people jabber on about ROIs and Product Life Cycles. And of course you will be able to create and justify a ten-year business projection without breaking a sweat. Often with disastrous results.
A Master’s degree in management gives you a complex set of procedures to approach and define a problem… but provides few practical tools for the solution. This is why some extraordinarily successful businessmen like Bill Gates and Richard Branson never bothered to go through the paces of a formal business education.
Entrepreneurs and business owners are increasingly frustrated by management institutions that use fees, bonuses and exorbitant salaries to extract value from the economy without providing any real, tangible value in return.
Most business schools have leadership programs where they teach ideas, not real life strategies. How can business school professors who have no experience in growing a business groom students to run businesses? Imparting theoretical knowledge intellectually is easy; showing students how it’s done is the true clincher! Entrepreneurs and business owners need coaching and tools to turn concepts into actionable results.
Look, don’t get me wrong – I have 5 university degrees – some have called post-graduate study as intellectual self-gratification (I don’t want to use the m-word!) and I have to admit they are not far off the mark.
The academic system teaches you how to reason, analyse and understand complex concepts and ideas, but what it fails to do miserably is turn that into an actionable plan that you can actually implement and deploy in your business / career.
Compare an MBA to our Business Mastery Platinum Program that is like an electrical apprenticeship or a car repair course that actually teaches you to fix an electrical fault or repair a car. Providing you with a user manual of exponential strategies that you can begin to apply immediately to out-perform and out-sell the competition.
This is where the Business Mastery Platimum Program delivers immense value. The program has been designed to get your brain cells hopping about in an espresso-like caffeinated induced state as you begin implementing strategies from the very first day to blow the competition away and race up the profit charts.
The challenge most entrepreneurs and business owners face is to grow individuals with an emphasis on values, emotional intelligence and ethical behavior in business. Academic Management programs are theory-oriented in nature and use the traditional tools of conceptual learning that fail to address the crux of developing leaders – HOW TO SOLVE PROBLEMS practically, pragmatically and economically.

Please understand that I am a big supporter of traditional education – to learn how to learn, but when it comes to making a lot of money, establish a stunning career and having the lifestyle of a multi-millionaire – academia just doesn’t cut it.
I have told people with sincere honesty and integrity that I have made more money from my first 3-day Business Building Bootcamp with the legendary Jay Abraham that I have from my 2-year Executive MBA Program.
I probably never would have done my MBA had I attended the Bootcamp first, but I can’t go back and undo that.
If you want to do an MBA for intellectual stimulation and the ego reward of having the MBA after your name, fine. If you think for a second that will make you a millionaire – think again. Join the Business Mastery Platinum Program and you’ll be in a club of other millionaires and multi-millionaires now that’s a peer group that will hold you to a higher standard!
