A degree in general business would be beneficial. There, you learn about economics and how a business should run. I say its a good idea. There might be a few entrepreneur classes, depending on where you go to college, but the degree in total will be in business.
In todays world of cut-throat competition and lightning fast communications, going to a business school will definitely help you be a better entrepreneur.
Evaluate the topics covered by your MBA vs the Entrepreneur course and see which interests you more- take that one.
Many colleges offer entrepreneurial studies as a separate major or as a focus with a business degree. They would teach you how to run the numbers to see if a new venture might be viable or not. They would also teach how to put together a business plan and teach you how to find financing for your business. The schooling will also teach you how to keep a small business running after launching and how to adapt with time.
If you don’t have the time or opportunity for a full degree, look close to home. Many community or junior colleges offer credit and non-credit classes on how to start and how to run a small business. It might be worth trying a couple of these classes to see if it is what you had in mind and if this course of study is a good fit.
In the meantime, you might consider working part-time for a small business in a field in which you are interested, (restaurant, retail, service, etc.,) to see how it all goes together.
a big no. you first have to learn the art of negotiation.this comes by way of reading people,their reactions,responses,and body language.these fundamental steps develope your own selling instinct,and how to gain advantage.college will be full of do dos,who havent been around the block in a people sense.weedle your way into middle management where your division have targets.use above skills to motivate your colleagues to perform for you.go on from there. ask alan sugar,philip green the same question.good luck whatever you do.
Yes it will, and why you are at it why not work a business right now and apply what you learn is school to your business that you have started and I’m going to help you right now, simply go to and this is a free website that I’m going to give you to help start you off in business today. Apply this business and school and you will become rich beyond your wildest dreams.
seeing as how the ONE and only point to all businesses is to “get and keep customers” you will want to put a very high priority on obtaining knowledge and skills which make that happen.
I would start with Marketing. It is a broad and complex arena of knowledge…it will take the longest amount of time to master…but it will benefit you in business hundreds of times over any other skill.
Business Management. I plan on studying business management and taking all the entrepreneur classes that I can squeeze in. They have several classes designed to help you learn how to open and manage your own business. I think the ones I was looking into were called “Small Business
Ownership” or something like that. Just look into the school you want, get a meeting with a counselor if you can, they really are helpful! Good luck.
If you were entrepreneur material, you wouldn’t be asking us. You’d out there getting rich.
