Busting Business Myths:
Separating Fact from Fiction By Annie Gibbins
A
spiring entrepreneurs are bombarded with advice and information about what it takes to succeed in business. Unfortunately, some of this advice is based on myths and misconceptions that can actually limit their success. Here are ten common business myths that are untrue and can hold you back.
1. Myth: You need to have a lot of money to start a business. Reality: While having access to funding can certainly make starting a business easier, it's not a requirement. Many successful businesses were started with little to no money, and there are numerous ways to bootstrap your business without outside financing. For example, you could start small and reinvest your profits to grow over time.
2. Myth: You need to have a business degree to be successful in business. Reality: While having a business degree can be helpful, it's not necessary. Many successful entrepreneurs have no formal education in business, and instead rely on experience, mentorship, and self-education to learn the skills they need.
