It is just the passion which is required, doesn't matter what degree you hold (Having MBA is also not harmful).<BR/> <BR/>Be passionate and be ready to learn and deliver. That's it. And this is very true in every field, even for the sports, whether you are trained in an academy or self trained or God gifted, its important to know your shoes before you wear them :) <BR/><BR/>What do you say Bhupi???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7531478698852647145.post-60242144906271529852009-03-08T09:40:00.000-07:002009-03-08T09:40:00.000-07:00A great post though its not that easy to digest.In...A great post though its not that easy to digest.Infact,this is something that had been hot on linkedin for sometime.<BR/><BR/>Not everyone is a built in entrepreneur or rather nt everyone realises they have it in them for various reasons.An MBA from a decent place gives the oppurtunity and the atmosphere to get that 'i can do' instinct out.<BR/>But then again,there have been people who have done it without,so no clear winners on this oneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7531478698852647145.post-72990374055225664752008-12-11T00:18:00.000-08:002008-12-11T00:18:00.000-08:00Mr. Confucius,I can't agree with you more.

I am an engineering ...Guys let me introduce myself. I am an engineering graduate who worked for 2 yrs in MNC before I quit to start my own thing with the guidance of my dad. Infact offlate I have been relieving him of his work too. My few lessons from my short entrepreneurial experience.<BR/>1. You really dont need an MBA to run a business.<BR/>2. You learn things the hard way and you develop instincts which no classroom will teach you.<BR/>3. Basically running your own thing is a matter of passion and drive. <BR/><BR/>On the other hand in favor of an MBA( My own father is an MBA from a top school and he is a first generation businessman)<BR/>1. It really opens doors when you have that degree.<BR/>2. Some of our reach into big clients has come through my dad's old school network as half of them are pretty senior or middle level managers with important profiles.<BR/>3. It does give a distinct tag and breaks a few doubt full barriers when you talk about your education from a top school.<BR/><BR/>My conclusion is if you are clear you dont need an MBA DONT DO IT. Dont do it because people tell you to or pressure from the family.<BR/>Do it because you would like to meet new people with interesting ideas and you would like have a good future network and credibility. <BR/><BR/>If you are sure you want to do a business then the earlier the better.It gets tougher as you get older.<BR/>As an alternative I would suggest to young guys who want do an MBA and then start their business - instead of joining some overgrown MNC straight out of college try and join a small medium enterprise where your pay may not be the greatest but your responsibilities and exposure are more. You can the use this valuable experience to better use in a MBA course before you step out on your own..Confused Confuciushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18149337652740468482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7531478698852647145.post-12078482260915366372008-11-17T00:22:00.000-08:002008-11-17T00:22:00.000-08:00With all the difficult entry level exams available...With all the difficult entry level exams available, it looks like doing MBA is more like being a skilled labor than a leader.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, entrepreneurs is something different.

Not...It's a comment we've often heard about MBAs... Not sure I agree completely! Being entrepreneur doesn't necessarily mean you will be a good manager, and vice-versa. I know MBAs who really sucks at managing their companies... I know great innovators who are sinking their ideas because they don't have a clue about how a business is run!<BR/><BR/>I'm in my 5th year of completing my ebusiness MBA, doing it part time, on top of my consulting work and starting a business.<BR/><BR/>Why did I decide to do an MBA? Because after 15 years in IT, I was stamped as a techie guy who couldn't possibly understand the business side of things! I'm doing it as a challenge, and yes, for my ego too! And I'm proud to say I'm on the honor roll (top 5% students!)<BR/><BR/>However... I see a huge number of young and inexperienced people doing their MBA without any previous work experience... Not sure I would hire any of them fresh out of school!Stéphane Hamelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10573779479865639459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7531478698852647145.post-79493282070976899442008-11-13T08:45:00.000-08:002008-11-13T08:45:00.000-08:00Ha ha ha ....
