“I’m a biology major who studied his way to medical school. My last business class was in 6th grade (about ways to save your allowance money).
“When I read Michael Masterson’s book, Ready, Fire Aim, I thought I just went through business school in about 300 pages.
“Michael, you’ve helped me start my business – and I never thought I could pull it off. Thank you!”

Jim Rogers in Investment Biker wrote: Even though I taught at the business school, I told her what I tell all my students, that she shouldn’t go to business school, that it was a waste of time. Including opportunity costs, it would cost her or her parents more than a hundred thousand dollars, money better spent starting a business, which would succeed or fail, either of which would teach her more about
