booksPopular wisdom holds that young, aspiring entrepreneurs needn’t bother to earn an MBA. It takes time and money to earn a Master of Business Administration, and most middle-management types can get their companies to pay their tuition at some point during their careers. If you want to start a business, on the other hand, you don’t need to prove your business acumen to anyone by showing them a degree – do you?
As a matter of fact, earning an MBA can be just as valuable for aspiring entrepreneurs as it for anyone else in the business world. MBA programs give you the chance to learn business lessons that you’d otherwise have to learn the hard way, through business failures that could ultimately cost you a chance at success. Every successful business has an MBA on board, not only for the business acumen, but also because having an MBA attracts top talent that can help your business succeed.
