Josh Kaufman started The Personal MBA during his senior year in college as he was preparing to enter his career at P&G as an Assistant Brand Manager. He realized that many of his peers would be fresh recruits from top 15 MBA programs, and he wanted to make sure he had the knowledge, background and skills that his peers would have.
In this case, Kaufman realized that an MBA certificate may not be necessary—he already had the job, so why not just study on his own? He started his studies as a side project—reading, researching and eventually sharing what he had learned with others.
The Personal MBA has now been featured in BusinessWeek, Fast Company, BNET and other popular sites and publications.
