VBL004 – Dan Andrews and his Philippines Tropical MBA!




Virtual Business Lifestyle - Online Business, Start-Up, Entrepreneurship, Lifestyle Design and Outsourcing Advice show

Summary: About three months ago I flew to Manila on business and whilst I was there I met with entrepreneur and virtual boss, Dan Andrews. We originally met via his blog OutsourcetothePhilippines.com, which I thought was an excellent resource for anyone looking to outsource or set-up businesses in the Philippines. We got talking and Dan told me about TropicalMBA.com (http://www.tropicalmba.com/) - which blew me away. I did a video interview with Dan for the blog, which you can check out here. And he also interviewed little 'ol me for his Podcast, too. So... Fast forward 6-8 months following the first semester and the Tropical MBA is now searching for one lucky so-and-so to be part of the second semester of this excellent program. I sat down with Dan last week to discuss this a little more via Skype (whilst he was on an awesome island here in the Philippines), and you'll hear him formerly offer VBL readers the opportunity to apply for the Tropical MBA themselves, if they should want to do so! We also discuss: * How the first semester of the program went with Sean Ogle (http://www.twitter.com/seanogle) (the first lucky applicant) * The in's and out's of this second semester * What the second lucky virtual worker / entrepreneur will 'get' for their involvement * Lots of laughs… * Lots more info! Its entrepreneurs like Dan that I enjoy being around. They have the 'screw it' attitude, and literally get to it every day. That is the sign of success in the making (if it's not been achieved already!). As far as I am aware, he is working on a handful of projects right now - but, it's probably way more than that in reality! Click play below to listen to this excellent Podcast with Dan, and leave your questions and comments below, so Dan (http://www.twitter.com/TropicalMBA) can get back to you personally.
