"It just doesn't compare with what I'm currently getting from university"
After three weeks at Mindvalley University, she found more value in networking and testing her education business ideas than her traditional degree offered. The experience convinced her to reconsider pursuing a master's and instead focus on global connections and content creation.
I've been at Mindvalley University for the whole three weeks, gone through the whole experience and I wanted to get the most out of that. So I spent a lot of time during the networking events, getting to know the people and seeing who I aligned with. And I enjoyed the conversations so much with the people and I got so much value out of that. It just doesn't compare with what I'm currently getting from university. So originally, I was thinking about doing my master's. And now I'm reconsidering that and just thinking of going all over the world, meeting with people, interviewing them for my podcast, and doing content together would be a lot more valuable than being stuck at one university for two years. I think I would lose too much time on that. My business was already two or three years ago, and I already knew that I wanted to do something with education. And here I got a lot of social proof for my ideas. I was able to test them out. I was pitching my ideas. And just getting feedback on that. And knowing that I'm on the right path, because other people were indeed either doing something similar, or they were saying the world needs that and how they can help me with helping with this vision.
