I want the Alternative MBA!

What's this Squidoo group? A collection of the people who are thrilled about Seth Godin's Alternative MBA and who have taken a bold move to apply.


The structure of a Squidoo group isn't effective for collecting resources or having in-depth group discussions (I think that the Ning group is GREAT for that - come join us there!). What the Squidoo group does do is allow us to share our applications - for ideas, for feedback, for inspiration. The power of the group is in the people who join, so if you think it's worthwhile, join the group and spread the word!


This is a phenomenal program with so much potential, but as Seth said, "if I don't find enough world-changing people, I have to cancel the entire program before it starts." That's not cool. Let's help find those people so they can change our world.

Did you apply?

Thanks. I've been baking all day to keep my mind busy (and off wondering).

I'm seeing the invitation as stage 1.

Good luck to you (and all the others).

[in reply to PatFerdinandi] Pat, from the conference call, I remember him saying that the schedule for the week is...

- 16th: Open House
- 16th, 18th & 19th: Interviews

...and then after that is selections. I don't recall any specific decision date, but I'm hoping it would be as soon as possible so that the interns would have as much time as they can to figure out their life.

Isn't what we find out on Monday that we are invited to a formal session. I don't believe that the final selection is made until Friday? Am I correct?

After way-too-much revising and paranoia, I sent mine off last night, and within 30 minutes Seth replied that he had received it.

It leaves me with a sense of both relief and stress, having turned it in but knowing that an answer is less than 48 hours away. Thanks to everyone for their insights and generous sharing of ideas, comments and struggles...

Wow... With the deadline approaching this place got a lot busier than it was the last time I stopped in.

For all the new people, stop by and give my lens a look.
