After years of procrastination, I finally embarked on my MBA journey this week.  Having thought I saw the last of picking up text books, assignments and last minute study for exams, the feelings all came rushing back this week.  The BIG difference this time around though is that I’m trying to balance work and studies.

Having spent years evaluating people and their suitability for employment, together with knowing the changing needs of multi dimensional businesses nowadays, taking up further education wasn’t actually a difficult decision to make.  However, my distractions are no longer simply kicking a football around or missing class to party with mates, it’s now fielding phone calls and answering emails on blackberry from my President and clients alike.

Sitting in classroom, I can’t help but feel humble and excited by the challenge.  I know looking around the classroom, I’m no longer the CEO of a multinational company; I’m now student #4302 and one of fifty students looking for the same answers.

So it’s back to the future for me.
