In this episode, Nicoa and I discuss the importance of understanding the why behind getting an MBA as well as alternatives to an MBA program. Before entering an MBA program, it is so important to understand your 'WHY' behind pursuing the degree. If you aren't the biggest fan of school or don't have motivation outside of the monetary benefits of earning an MBA, it may be helpful to consider other paths or options that will help you to meet your goals.

Today’s episode is all about the importance of planning your MBA experience ahead of time and how to push yourself past your comfort zone and grow during your MBA journey. I talk through examples of how I broadly planned my MBA internship and other activities and how it is all about balance. For example, you might think you want to concentrate in finance but find out that you love marketing. In this case, it is important to have a plan while also being flexible!

Comfort zones are also a big thing when you are getting your MBA - do not be scared to try new experiences! Whether it is starting an initiative at your MBA program, being president of a club or moving for an internship, these are valuable experiences that can absolutely change your life post MBA.
