You'll finish with three plans that work together:
You may know you should make progress in your career, get more deliberate with money, and explore that business idea you've had for years.
But each decision affects the others. A career move changes your income. A financial obligation changes how much risk you can take. A business idea needs time, money, and a reason to exist.
That's why I created the MBA in Success: to help you put those decisions into one plan you can use.
I taught finance, investments, real estate, marketing, and entrepreneurship at the university level. Outside the classroom, I built businesses and applied what I taught.
For years, I wanted to teach a course that brought those subjects together around a student's own life. The university never let me teach it.
So I built it myself.
The MBA in Success gives you a structured way to plan, do, check, and adjust across three connected parts of your life: your career, your finances, and a potential part-time business.
— Dr. Dave Schalow
Take stock of where you are, decide where you want to go professionally, and map the steps between the two. You'll finish this phase with a written Career Plan and clear next steps.
Work through your goals and decisions involving cash flow, debt, reserves, protection, investing, and retirement. You'll finish this phase with a written Financial Plan built around your circumstances.
Explore whether a part-time business fits your life. You'll examine possible customers, an offer, pricing, the numbers, and the time it would require. You'll finish this phase with a written Part-Time Business Plan, including a decision about whether and when to pursue it.
At the end of the program, you'll bring the three plans together into your Personal Success Master Plan.
