I have the opportunity to get an MBA at a small university in exchange for coaching track at that university. I'm torn on the decision. The opportunity provides housing and meals along with the MBA, as well as a small stipend of $450.00 per month. The housing is appealing to me because I recently moved back with my parents, and I'd like to move out ASAP. However, the issue is that I'd be spending 50-60 hours per week coaching and recruiting, plus around 20 hours per week on classes and homework. In other words, life would consist only of coaching and schoolwork for the next two years with little to no time to actually work on developing a business. I've put in three months of focused, dedicated work toward developing the foundation for an UNSCRIPTED business model which I can envision as helping a lot of people as long as I execute like a champ. In another 4-6 months I can have it launched...but if I take this MBA opportunity, I'd more or less be putting that aside for the time being and focusing on coaching and school.
