I’m offering 45 minute case coaching for $40, DM if interested.

1. Make sure your foundations are solid in the first place before casing. Crafting cases' free course is the best out there.

2. Case with partners. FB groups have the highest activity level (e.g., https://www.facebook.com/share/g/jMbJtyktS4oQwxwS/?mibextid=K35XfP)

3. Try newer tools like [https://casewithai.com]

I regret not applying to Harvard. I never thought I’d get into a top school and then got into wharton with a 100k fellowship - which changed my entire perspective. It sucks thinking “what if…”. I just didn’t have the confidence and thought wharton was a reach so why bother with H/S 🙃 hope this inspires someone to just shoot their shot - you never know
