What is the outlook of U.S Private for Profit universities during COVID-19 and Post COVID-19

Marketing & Sales. A lot of entrepreneurs are "doers of the thing" but at some point, you're forced to take the shift and become a "marketer of the thing". Think of it this way: You can have the best product on the market, but it doesn't matter if noone knows about it. Ofcourse, there are so many other important bits I'd love to tell you about - but, start with these and you will see traction, the rest will follow.

Hi there, Congratulations on your scholarship! I am both a startup adviser and college professor. My advice is based on my experience in the US, so please bear that in mind. Typically a personal statement is a combination of resume, aspirations and suitability. In that the school wishes to see your achievements, life experiences, goals, abilities and how all those make you a great candidate for their school. Most schools like to see your connectedness to their history and culture, and want to be satisfied that you will both gain from their learning and add to the institution. I am happy to get on a call with you to discuss how your startup experience and mindset can be leveraged for this as well as learn more about why you want a law degree in the first place. Look toward to speaking with you! Best, Arjun

I've been working with information products and online masterclasses for close to a decade now. You basically have a few options: 1. Host it yourself. 2. Host it on YouTube. 3. Host it on a MOOC, Udemy or something similar. The big differences between the 3 are pricing, control and setup. Pricing: If you host somewhere that isn't your own platform then you have very little control over pricing and how much you can charge. This is why you see masterclass creators charging $200-300 for courses but Udemy creators have their content sold for $10. Control: With your own platform you'll be able to control how the customer experience and navigation flow looks and feels. You'd also be able to set up the credit/a la carte system for payment. On other platforms you'll be limited. Setup: To host on your own platform requires a certain amount of technical know-how and there are also a lot of moving pieces - you'd have to setup web hosting, video hosting, some kind of cart or product delivery system as well as payment processing.

I am an entrepreneur without a single degree or certification to my name. I'm certainly not anti-education (in fact, I've taught some university classes), but higher education wasn't the path I chose. My question for you is: what type of learner are you? I learn best when I'm self-directed, studying things that fascinate me, and able to either apply or teach what I'm learning (in fact, I think teaching is one of the best ways to learn). So, I've taken ownership of my "education", and I am constantly learning. I read books and articles, listen to podcasts and other audio programs, attend conferences and events, and seek mentors and peer-learning environments. It has worked well for me, but not everyone is built that way. Some people learn better when the education is structured for them, or when they have schedules, deadlines, and feedback (i.e. grades) on their learning. Even for structured learning, college / university is not the only option. There are incubator / accelerator programs, entrepreneur boot camps, mentoring groups such as SCORE - some of it depends on where you are located, or whether you're willing to travel. The bottom line is that education is not optional (especially for an entrepreneur), but there are several ways to get an education. You need to figure out what kind of learner you are to determine what path (or combination of paths) you should take.

Everything you do (in life and as an entrepreneur) should start with an underlying passion. If you aren't pursuing the things you're most passionate about, you're doing it wrong (or just for the wrong reasons). IMHO. So in that regard, I'd highly recommend reading Simon Sinek's "Start With Why". If you're not up to reading a book, just Google his TED talk as a start.
