The 5 Biggest Lessons I Learned from Justin Welsh’s Creator MBA
“The future belongs to those who learn more skills and combine them in creative ways.” — Robert Greene
In a world that rewards speed, creativity, and independence, the traditional career ladder feels more rickety than ever. Instead, more people are building their own ladders — carving out paths as solopreneurs, creators, and digital entrepreneurs.
Justin Welsh’s Creator MBA is one of the most talked-about courses in that world. It promises a system for building a one-person business that can scale beyond trading time for money.
Earlier this year, I went through the programme myself. Was it worth it? Absolutely — but not for the reasons you might expect.
Here are the five biggest lessons I took away — lessons that have reshaped how I think about work, creativity, and freedom.
1. Speed Beats Perfection
Before taking the Creator MBA, I spent way too long tweaking and polishing everything.
Website pages. Newsletter drafts. Product ideas. I thought I needed to get it right before I could launch anything.
Justin flips that thinking on its head: Done is better than perfect. Start now, polish later.
