Entrepreneurship Is A Team Sport
The Forte Foundation offers resources to support women business school students, including mentoring and career counseling. With women starting more than one-half of all businesses in the U.S., it certainly makes sense to consider the resources business school can offer you, even if you cannot make the time available to pursue an MBA degree. I benefited from participating in weekend certificate programs of the Continuing and Professional Studies Program at Baruch College of the City University of New York, as well as an entrepreneurial executive education program, Owner President Management, of the Harvard Business School. The networking and peer support is invaluable. Evening, weekend or part-time study may also be an option. Another possibility might be to engage a team of business school students to work on a project for your business for academic credit. These are quite common in MBA programs, and offer the experience of a professor to oversee the project – another way to leverage limited resources in this economy.
