MBA&Business Success

With reading a bunch of articles & videos, I have came to a conclusion that it isn't worth it to get an MBA in business because the opportunity cost is way too high.  I think that with the right mindset & will to chase after what you want and the knowing the basics to business that any person even contemplating opening a business needs to know then you are more than ready to go head on at the opportunity to open something of your own.

I believe that an MBA to business success completely depends on you.  If you are the type of person that needs to know every little detail about all aspects of business then yes, you need an MBA.  But if you are a person that's more hands on and that likes to just get in there any start doing everything then an MBA is not for you.  Overall, business is something you are born with in my opinion & some people require that business school education to unleash everything inside of them to potentially realize that business requires a bunch of risk, and guts to lay everything you have on the line for something you believe in.  Business is so beautiful in many ways & the most beautiful thing about it is that there are so many different stories from entrepreneurs and not one is exactly alike.  If you love business & want to chase that dream then go the route that your heart is telling you and never look back!
