After reading 95% of the books outlined in the "Personal MBA Reading List," I'd say this post is about 50% true. The first point about the knowledge you learn is wrong; an MBA curriculum has many more useful topics that an entrepreneur can use. Learning how to develop a business plan, forecast financials, develop consistent methodologies for leading, etc., are all covered under an MBA curriculum (or, they were covered in depth in all the books I read), and all are valuable when it comes to running a company. Starting a company up? Maybe not, but having a solid foundation to rely on once the revenue starts coming in is absolutely included in an MBA program. That said, I mentioned the Personal MBA Reading List above; I made it a goal to read the entire list within 18 months and got pretty close. I started a company first, and went on my reading journey second, but if nothing else, the material helped validate what I was doing, and filled in a lot of gaps where I hadn't learned anything experientially.
