I’m super fortunate to have gone to the # 1 business school in the world, Wharton
It’s graduates include the CEOs of Google, Blackstone RE, J&J, Starbucks, Loews, and Elon Musk
Twitter is FREE...and better at teaching 4 key lessons than Wharton was
Lesson #1: There are better ways to make money
Wharton is prep for a life of banking, consulting, or (accelerated) corporate ladder climbing
All paths require ungodly hours
Meanwhile, people like @sweatystartup teach how you can make great $$$ with way less hours
@sweatystartup Lesson #2: There are better ways to invest money
Wharton teaches very little about investing your own capital.
What it does teach is mainly "hold on and wait for carry", eventhough most quit before carry kicks in
I've learned more from people like @SteveOnSpeed
@sweatystartup @SteveOnSpeed Lesson #3: There are better ways to keep your money
Wharton primes you to spend a ton of money
Going to NYC and blowing $8K a month on rent is expected
Meanwhile, Twitter accounts like @baldridgecpa taught me Cost Segregation and will save me $50K+ on taxes this year
@sweatystartup @SteveOnSpeed @baldridgecpa Lesson #4: Eyeballs matter
Wharton teaches you to spend $$$$ on advertising, not to build a following
Meanwhile, people like @barrettjoneill, @polak_jasper & @BrianFOConnor have built incredible followings more valuable than an advertising spend could buy
@sweatystartup @SteveOnSpeed @baldridgecpa @barrettjoneill @polak_jasper @BrianFOConnor To be clear: there are a TON of things that Wharton is incredible at. I loved my time there
BUT, there is more than one way to skin a cat
Twitter is amazing at presenting alternative ways to approach life and business
Thank you to all who make Twitter a special place
