This old machine doesn't handle web-based video all that well, and, frankly, I can read a lot faster than I can listen. Are there any plans to provide transcripts of the interviews?

That's a real job title now, huh? I dig it. :) That is totally the sort of job I could see myself doing... (Any excuse to learn how to more effectively use it, right?) In fact, I've always wondered *how* to get into that sort of job.... Exactly what qualifies one as proficient in social media these days? Social Media Manager… That’s a real job title now, huh?

The hobby/work balance.I am a musician and I started playing 4 shows a week all around the midwest and working a day job. Weddings were rolling in and it was kicking ass! Then it just hit me... I was losing my love for music. I was playing music that others enjoyed, not myself. I was focusing on how much money I could make in 5 hours at a wedding. It sucked. I stopped. Now I play weddings, bars, new music that I write, I enjoy, and as a hobby. The money still is there but not at all the focus...Result: Shows are a blast, I actually have a niche, more people are following the work I do, and I am not afraid to tell the story of how it all went down.Your interview was awesome and hit the nail on the head with about every tip... As far as the Virtual Assistants... I still need to learn how to delegate more...Thanks, Shane Mac Always a great interview Jun and glad I was introduced to Alexandra.

My thesis on what people will say here:1) Those who don't have an MBA, will say an MBA is not necessary.2) Those who do have an MBA, will praise the benefits the degree gave them.3) Very few will argue the other way around.If you want to make 6-figures, it's pretty obvious after looking at every single MBA ranking publication out there that you can, if you go to a Top 25 school. The average income for a 28-29 yr old grad out of The Top 10 is $140,000 (USNWR, FT, Economist, ETC).Nobody needs anything. You only need what you want.Jun, c u at 111 Minna St. tonight.
