Yeah, I finished an MBA about 7 years ago. What do you want to know?

It was expensive but paid for by the place I worked at the time. I found it hard to get motivated as you don't have "classes" as such. Although I did it with the London Business school and the support was excellent, went up there a few times for tutorage. Plus obviously I was in the workplace with people who had done it so could help. It's surprising how much help you need!

I suppose it all depends on the course and how confident you are sorting through problems mostly on your own. I'd say you were probably pretty good at that?

I'd guess with you it's more for personal development rather than career opportunities as you're self employed, so I'd say go for it! It's tax deductable for the self employed if the course relates to your business. I'm considering doing an LLB via distance learning but unfortunately, my accountant doesn't think I'd be able to have it as an expense.
