Thank you for your question. I am glad to know you want to become an entrepreneur.
Below are my suggestions:
1. Have you thought about what industry you start your business? Eg. Something you have interest or you have strength.
2. Do some analysis on the industry, etc entry criteria, competition status, any alternative or substitute, etc
3. Attend courses related to the industry and management courses
4. Work in the industry some time to understand the business model and establish people network
5. Start the business online first if possible.
Hope this helps! Good luck!
May Almighty God bless you!

You don't need a business degree to get ready for entrepreneurship. Many important skills come from hands-on experience and learning along the way. Begin by building basic business knowledge using free or low-cost resources like podcasts, YouTube channels, and short online courses on marketing, finance basics, and customer research. Try to understand how businesses make money, find customers, and solve real problems. Even a regular job can be helpful if you pay attention to operations, sales, and decision-making processes.
The best approach is to start small and practical. Try a simple project like selling a product online, freelancing a skill, or offering a small service to people around you. It doesn't have to be perfect or big. The aim is to learn how to talk to customers, set prices, handle mistakes, and adapt quickly. Entrepreneurship is mostly about solving problems and being resilient, not just theory. You'll learn more from one small real project than from months of just reading about business.
Also, focus on building skills every entrepreneur needs, like communication, networking, time management, and basic financial literacy. Surround yourself with others who are building things too, whether through local meetups, online communities, or school clubs. Over time, you'll start seeing opportunities more clearly, and confidence comes from experience, not just having the "right" degree.

It’s so good to hear of your interest in entrepreneurship. Having a degree in business can significantly support your entrepreneurial journey. There are multiple paths. Some entrepreneurs start their ventures first and pursue formal education in business courses alongside, while others complete their education in business or a related field to gain the necessary skills and knowledge to support their entrepreneurial ambitions. A business degree provides structured knowledge in areas such as finance, strategy, marketing, and operations, which can help entrepreneurs make informed decisions, avoid common mistakes, and scale their ventures more effectively. Formal education in business helps entrepreneurs combine hands-on experience, problem-solving, and a willingness to learn and adapt to develop practical skills, confidence, and insight, giving them a strong foundation to build and grow successful ventures.

Hi Benito,
Entrepreneurship doesn't require a degree; it's all about your outlook on life. Being curious about how things work is crucial. Focus on your passions, as it's easier to create something you love. Study topics related to startups and the lean canvas model to grasp essential business aspects. Look to other entrepreneurs who started from scratch for inspiration. Begin with simple ideas and start small. If you fail, learn quickly and try again. Remember, controlled failure is part of the journey to success in entrepreneurship. Good luck!

Hey Benito, you don’t need a business degree to become an entrepreneur; you need practical skills, initiative, and resilience.
Start by learning the fundamentals of how businesses make money, including sales, marketing, and basic financial management. Focus on building one valuable skill that can generate income, such as digital marketing, coding, design, writing, or sales. Most importantly, start small. Launch a simple project, freelance, or test an idea in the real world. Entrepreneurship is learned through action, not theory.
