Deadline Approaching

Deadline

Have you ever considered the question, "What are the worst decisions I make in life?"

Well, here are three. 

Top on my list are decisions made by default: the decision to do nothing is a choice and we make this choice day after day through life.  In fact, the decision to do nothing (and allow opportunities to pass us by) may too often define our course through life.

The second worst decisions may be to commit in part, but not fully, to a course of action.  Doesn't the old adage hold: if something is worth doing, it's worth doing well?  Think about almost any major decision you make in life (e.g., getting in shape, starting a business, getting married or pursuing your career) and consider, when does a halfhearted commitment to a course of action make sense?

The third worst decisions are those based on fear.  I may be mistaken in characterizing fear-based decisions as third worst because (it would seem) fear explains why we fail to choose (default choices) or refuse to fully commit to a course of action.  It's too scary.  You will regret these decisions most in life: "I didn't have the courage to try."

We are rapidly approaching a deadline for international students to join our Otago MBA

programme.  Only ten weeks remain before the start of our 2014 Phase One

courses in April.  You must act soon to complete our application process

and acquire a NZ visa in time for orientation.

This may be the most heartfelt advice I've offered on the blog.  If want to apply but haven't, get it done. If you've committed to our part-time (3 to 5 year) programme, consider the benefits of attending full-time and completing your coursework in 9 months.   I'll make this promise, once you are in our programme, we will devote every effort possible to make your Otago MBA education successful and one of the most enriching experiences of your life.

Apply now!
