Thinking about getting an MBA?
Yes, I did. But here’s what it really taught me
how to run a business:
👉 Not trying to be the expert in everything.
👉 Finding the right people to build with.
👉 Bootstrapping until the wheels come off.
Yes, an MBA teaches you the theory.
But entrepreneurship?
That teaches you to get real, fast.
“I know just enough about every discipline to get myself in trouble… until I need to become the expert.”
- Julie Riga
If you’re building something from scratch, this is your reminder:
💡You don’t need to know it all.
👥 You need the right people around you.
💪 And you need to keep going, even when you’re bootstrapping every inch of the way.
