Thank you for being part of the very first 31 Day Courier MBA Course.
Each day you'll receive an email updating you on the course, and with an introduction to the subject of the day. The email will contain a link to the page for the day's topic.
The course is based on the first 31 episodes of the Deliver on Your Business Podcast. The podcast launched in July 2019 with a 31 day series called the Courier MBA (sound familiar?)
We'll cover most of the same topics in the course. It may not always be in the same order. Sometimes you can find more detail in the posts from the original series. In the course there are times we'll go into more depth.
What I really hope to accomplish in the course is to go deeper in applying the information to what you do. We'll get into questions that help you think through what the information presented means to you in your delivery business.
You may want to book mark this page. Links will be added for each day's content as it is made available in the course. That way you can come back to this page as a point of reference.
Enjoy the class!

For the original podcast episodes from the Courier MBA series that I did, you can view the topics on the schedule page that I published here. The links on the page go to the associated blog post, which was generally a written form of the content for the podcast. There you can either read or click on the player on the page to listen to the podcast episode that went with it. These are from over a year ago, sometimes they'll add a little more depth to the topics we discuss. You will notice there have been some changes in the topics between then and now.
