Moishe Mana is on my mind!
Perseverance is genius in disguise. The founder of Moishe Moving. He is a billionaire and started his company from the comfort of a NYC park bench. If I have too I will live in squalor quarters. A tent even. I imagine my son will follow Mr. Moishe's lead, some day. We've lived in a tent in Massachusetts and NJ for 6 months. A better education than some expensive college could give. Some of my best times. I often tell him, get a van, a contractor's license, a hotspot and a website and live in a tent again if you have too. Freedom is not having somebody having the power to give you the boot. There are campers down the street across from the juvenile detention center. Give me a camper and a hot spot, i'll build my empire I say!
Mr Moishe, high fives his fellow Israeli employees (he's from Tel Aviv) on the way to work! He didn't need a management course from an MBA to know your people are the most important asset. It's not on a balance sheet.
My MBA didn't teach business cases about Mr. Moishe or anyone else who built an empire from a park bench. They should have! Their education full of financial equations with constants which was disproven by the Black Swan author in 1996. Rather, the MBA programs should say you can't pay your student loans (because we suckered you to get here), well go get a tent and hot spot and move on! Mr. Moishe's case study is just that. Find out how he managed being on a park bench despite owning 3 Moishe Moving Vans. Take a simple idea and become a billionaire. That's the education I wanted!
From Wikepedia:
Realizing that anyone with a van and a strong back could start a moving company in 1980s New York, Moishe quickly began hiring other Israeli immigrants, and was able to swiftly undercut his competition. Within six years his company was one of the city's top residential movers. It eventually evolved into Moishe's Moving Logistics.
