Day 21: Start your MBA journey. Today.
Day 21 has to be the hardest of them all in the #21dayMBAplan series if you ask me. As today, you start with the real work. Of actually starting the MBA journey.
Pursuing an MBA is a project!
Like any other project to be successful, you need a plan. You need to allocate resources. And you may need project managers.
Most people start the prep for an MBA while juggling multiple other things and working full-time.
??You need to make time for it. Put it in your calendar.
??Some days are better than others. You may need to skip a few days. But getting back in the track is all it needs.
??You need to know why you are on this journey. This one is why it will get you going.
??When things are not going your way, pause. Assess, take necessary steps and get back on track.
??Do not think of the MBA project as a 1- year project. Give yourself the time you need for preparation.
