Once again, Guys 'n Dolls, class is in session!


I would like to continue examining the whole theme of being an Entrepreneur - what it takes, and what is needed to be the best that you can be.

Is there really an education needed to be an entrepreneur? This is a question often asked by aspiring entrepreneurs.

Well, it all depends on the individual. There are times even when those who have no formal educational business background are still able to make it big in the business world. Some say that they owe it all to patience, hard work, and dedication. Most of the successful entrepreneurs on the other hand claim that it would take good education to become an entrepreneur.

So what will it be?

Well, if you can afford to study towards a business degree, then don’t let that chance pass you by. You're quite lucky if you can attend college especially for any type of degree. You have to dedicate your time studying all your lessons because in due time, you will be able to use such information to the advantage of your business.

BUT there is always the other question or questions:

  • What if I don't want to go to a traditional college or even more,
  • What if I can't afford the tuition for a traditional college?

What are my options then?

Let's take a look.

Thanks for your interesting post and training Michelle. Although a degree is extremely helpful, it is not necessarily a requirement. I believe it is the drive and pure determination that one must possess to be a successful entrepreneur. Here are some examples of Determined Entrepreneurs:
Bill Gates - Microsoft - 2 yrs Harvard
Michael Dell - Dell - 1 yr Univ. of Tx
Steve Jobs - Apple - 1 semester - Reed College
Mark Zuckerberg - Facebook -2 yr Harvard
Thomas Edison - Inventor - 3 mo. high School
Wright Brothers - Inventors - Did not graduate High School.

Thanks again Michelle,
Jerome

You can never go wrong with education, even if you can't afford University or College's, you can work and swot / study part time, on the end you will be a success.
