My name is S Lynn Mitchell, but you all can call me Lynn. I am very new to IM but very anxious to get going. I have done a lot of reseach--just enough to know that I have a lot more to do. So here's to the new journey. I look forward to making some valuable and lasting relationships here. I am very eager to learn, and not one to stop in the middle of ANY project or undertaking. I know the potential of what is being done here and I am ready to recognize it to the fullest. I need and will accept any help and advice giving to me. I am revving to go!!!!
An MBA should no doubt help with the general learning curve ... I've sure you'll be on your way in no time.
In the meantime, I'm a major proponent of recognizing a niche you have either a great deal of experience in ... or even simply a great passion for, finding someone (even 2 or 3) who has succeeded in that market ... and study how they've done it to start filling in the cracks and get you started off on the right foot.
I will be applying to a few MBA programs myself...if you know any admissions people at Stanford, put in a good word
Great to see your motivation and understanding that persistence and dedication goes a long way in this (and any) business. There is great potential online and I have no doubt you are on your way to achieving great things
