Assassinate Your Fears
Are you a professional procrastinator? Crush your fear and trust the process.
What is amazing about Seth Godin’s altMBA program is the opportunity to level up. This is your chance to make an order of magnitude of growth in 4-weeks. The altMBA program is as far from a traditional MBA program as you can imagine. Yet, it is also on the completely opposite spectrum of a massive open online course (MOOC). Having been through various forums of education, I will hang my hat on the altMBA and endorse anyone that has crushed their fears and finished that program. It will make you a leader. A linchpin. You just need to accept the challenge, and recognize that time and fear will be against you the whole time.
The altMBA is a 4-week intensive program — 7 books (or more if you are up for it), 13-projects, 100’s of hours of time researching, writing and interaction synchronously and asynchronously with your cohort. Everything you read about the altMBA is true. The program WILL make you level up. It will expose weaknesses that you never expected or intended to explore. It will challenge you. It will make you an initiator, an instigator, someone that makes a ruckus but can back that ruckus up with action. You will produce more coherent work in a short amount of time than you ever thought possible.
Embrace your fear. Recognize that you have to make that leap into the unknown. In that effort you will realize that time is not a commodity, nor has it ever been. It can no longer be something we throw carelessly to the wind. Time is constraint and it must be used effectively and without disdain.
Destroy your fear.
