At Supercool School we strongly believe not just in the power of education, but also in the importance of business.
If you look at the current education system all over the world, it's pretty clear that education should NOT be laid in the government hands. Because they are really not doing a good job at all.
Business and education should go hand in hand, because let's face it: that's one of the main purposes of school. To prepare you for making a living later on. But currently, what school does is basically churning out "factory workers", in a time when the demand for factory workers is diminishing rapidly.
Last week I talked with Nick Stamoulis from Brick Marketing. Nick is also in the business of education - educating people to succeed online.
And he very much believes in the power of learning, developing your skills and wrote about Supercool School on the Social Marketing Journal. If you are interested in online marketing, then you find a whole library of knowledge waiting there for you, that ties in perfectly with the online marketing classes at Supercool school.
Want to make your websites more search engine-friendly? Check out the Search Engine Journal. Or how about Email marketing? I found a guerrilla online publicity strategy that I'll employ to get the word out about Supercool School. Local advertising? I found the strategy to get a blog featured on national media really interesting. And the Brick Marketing guys shared a really interesting tip how you can even bid on highly competitive terms for lower prices than the competition.
If you're an information junky like me, there is some dangerous stuff in there, because with all the info he shares, you can really dig deep. That's why I just LOVE the Supercool Classes, because interacting in a class with others is really the best way to get clarity and counter information overload.
Talk soon,

PS:I know some there are some education fanatics like us out there, but they view business differently. They often think that business and academics can't join together, and yes, there definitely is a big divide between schools and coorporations. But I think that's part of the problem - because if entrepreneurs and educators unite, that's a very mighty force for the good of the world. Don't you think so?
