This is very similar to personal MBA and it is pretty cool. He actually setup goals for himself. If you look at the goals, they are pretty interesting. For example: Building a business on an advertising model. However, I find this could be very limiting (too focus). Again, I find more and more audible for traditional MBA.
I read a book called “Roaring 2000s” by Harry Dent. He is a Harvard MBA. His stock market theory is based on demographic and how it affect stock price. I have follow him since 2004. I think what he did was using technical analysis to predict stock. He did gain a lot of attention for all of his crazy, partially wrong predictions.
So, I think if you just read investment books, you will be better off than listening to these traditional MBA gurus.
