You're not behind.
You're under-structured.
Most students care about their futures. The challenge is deciding what matters, knowing where to begin, and following through when no one else is creating the structure. These responses point to a practical gap between ambition and action.
Insights from a survey of 172 BUS 101 students across two cohorts.Does any of this sound familiar?
Ambition is not the problem.
“I have ideas, but no clear plan.”
“I don't know what to do first.”
“It matters—but it doesn't feel urgent yet.”
“I make a plan, but I don't always follow it.”
“I know relationships matter, but I don't know who to contact.”
“I want to get ahead without sacrificing my whole life.”
You don't need your whole life figured out. You need a system for making your next few moves.

Why Professor Corey Hart?
I've taught the class—and lived the hard parts.
I'm a Professor of Business at Grand Valley State University. Outside the classroom, I've founded and exited companies, raised money, advised growing organizations, and made plenty of mistakes along the way.
I built The Rising Advantage because students do not need another person telling them to “work harder.” They need someone to make the hidden parts of college and early adulthood easier to see—and easier to do.
