You can learn a lot in college

But not many schools teach you how to run and grow a profitable, boring business

Here's 6 courses I'd tetach if I was in charge:

#1 Numbers But No Calculus

Accounting, Snooze I know. But learn 3 things:
- P&L (profit and loss) - how to read it & what's important
- forward looking projections (how to model out what cash & costs could be)
- taxes - if you know how they work you can save millions

#2 People over everything

Hiring,
- how to do it
- how not to suck at it
- how to get people to come buy into your dream
- better yet how to get your people to bring friends along

*Sample of one workflow to hire admin we do.

#3 Tech that can 10x your biz

- Deel to pay contractors globally
- Bench/Quickbooks to run your expenses & profits
- slack for comms
- trello for project management
- buffer & hypefury for social

Less employees more robots = higher-margin less pain.

#4 how to run mtgs

Sure leadership. But make it tactical.
Weekly meetings? How to run em.

Sample agenda for Contrarian Thinking.
- start w/ cool ideas so ppl gtt engaged and stoked to be on the call, gets endorphins flowing.

Starting w/ what'd you do this wkeend = LAME.

#5 Make the main thing the main thing.

How to pick KPIs and metrics to focus on.
- Running a successful biz is mostly saying no to distractions non-stop and saying yes to grind grunt work that no one wants to do.
- Ability to tell between the two and measure it = priceless

#6 21st century sales aka copywriting

Honestly if you can't write, speak or film well... getting sales is gonna be tough.
- learn to tame the word, and watch sales skyrocket
- The Hustle kills it at this...

TLDR:

- apparently I should start with spelling
- it’s all simpler than you think
- learn these things, you learn biz building
