Columbia Business School/FacebookYou learn a lot on the way to getting your MBA, but you can’t learn everything in school; there are plenty of men and women in business whose success came more from their ability to work with people and understanding how to adjust on the fly than anything they learned in a classroom.
Chris Haroun got his MBA in finance from Columbia University, and later created a class entitled "An Entire MBA in 1 Course". But through his experience working at Goldman Sachs, Citadel, as well as time spent as a venture capitalist, he learned more about business than even Columbia could’ve taught him.
Throughout his career, Haroun met with some of the world’s most renowned technology CEOs and business professionals, including the likes of Bill Gates and Warren Buffet. In each of these meetings, he asked his colleague for a piece of advice that made them successful, but wasn’t the type of thing taught in school.
Haroun collected his findings and published a book: “101 Crucial Lessons They Don't Teach You in Business School” which was later declared "1 of 6 books that all entrepreneurs must read right now" by Forbes, and now he is following it up with an online course compiling all of the lessons he’s learned over the years.
Calhoun assures students that through his class they will get advice on how to get a meeting with anyone, how to further their careers, and much more from some of the most successful people in the industry. The course normally runs for $49, but through the end of the month you can enroll for just $19 by using the code “INSIDER229” at checkout.
