Business
studies:

The first

entrepreneurship

{

{

Contrary to what many people think,
business studies will actually give
you the option of either becoming a
self-employed (an entrepreneur) or
work with a company in almost any
industry. Entrepreneurship can be fun
and fulfilling underneath that “all work
and no play” exterior portrayed by
famous businessmen and women. But
it is indeed a long process, and you will
face many ups and downs before you
could get your big break. Many people
seem to show an interest in becoming
an entrepreneur, but fewer have the
tenacity to keep going and make the
dream a reality.

When it comes to being self-employed, a lot
of us are afraid of setting up a business, as it
will be costly; there won’t be any guarantee
of positive return on investment (ROI).
Entrepreneurship is risky business (but you’ll
find risk in whatever field you venture into).
Perhaps what you need most are the key
ingredients, the first big step towards successful
entrepreneurship: sufficient knowledge in
business studies.
But do you actually need to do business studies
if you want to become an entrepreneur? Yes
and no. It is all a matter of preference. If you
think you could be better off without that piece
of paper, then go ahead; start planning for your
business and future as soon as possible. But
if you would like to benefit more from a solid
education system that comprehensively teaches
the ins and outs of the business world, read on
to find out more.
