Heyo! Welcome to the $100 MBA Show Business Insights You Can Count on every single day with our daily 10 minute business

lessons for the real world.

I'm your host, your coach, your teacher Omar's at home.

I'm also the co-founder of Webinar Ninja, an independent software company I started

with my co-founder back in 2014. And in today's episode you will learn what getting sick taught me as a business

owner. I was sick as a dog for about 10 days.

You follow me or have been following the show for some time. You probably know I don't get

sick that often. I actually actively try to not get sick to stay healthy, to eat

tested positive for what's called the rhinovirus which is the virus that causes

a cold but it was just like a cold that was a nuclear and you probably could still hear it in my

voice I'm still not fully recovered but for those 10 days I was incredibly

weak I had massive headaches I was sneezing I was coughing I had major sinus pressure and runny nose and you name it the gamut where I

really didn't see much progress I went to the doctor, got tested, they put beyond antibiotics, all that
