Majority majority of people do not want to learn a skill before starting or implementing the business in which they intend to establish . They think that their motivation to start a business is already enough , and has already equipped them with the basic things they need for the business to survive . there is no doubting the fact that motivation towards starting a business is good . Yes it is good because motivation shows that you are poised and your mindset towards business is improved . But on the other hand , motivation is not enough for you to go start your business you still need skills , not just any skill but basic skills . And this basic skills will you help you to react when a customer makes compliant on your business actions , or when your business is running at a loss , and how to react when your business is overshadowed with fellow competitors and business rivals .

That is why , for a business owner to acquire or exhibit professional skills in his business he must be well-educated . it is true that they are self-employed businesses who are owned and controlled by individuals who are not educated . but sometimes these businesses tend to grow depending on how knowledgeable the business owner and manager is . But when you are educated coupled with your motivation to work , possibilities are your business will definitely reach higher heights .

I think it is all encompassing when you need to succeed with a business. You would need money, high level of motivation and good dose of knowledge. Business now isn't like before that you can just start and believe it would work out but it needs great amount of different inputs now.

For me I think hsving a good insight into the business you intend to operste matter most. The truth is that you can have all the money needed for a business but if you don't know the knowledge it needs through having a good insight of it, you would lose

it Is a good thing to start a business and even grow it into an empire that will outlive you but you need to have the foundation and get it cemrntrd right with the truth. So motivation will help but what you need most is a good amount of knowledge of the business for progress.

As long as motivation is very important as someone that want to venture into a business, but it is actually not enough to sustain you and make you a successful business person on the long run.


If you want to venture into a business and succeed it is very much important you will try as much as possible to gain the necessary knowledge required of you in that particular business venture before you can succeed if not you may be chasing shadows even if you are motivated.

Motivation is important but it is not enough to succeed in a business. one of the most important things about people who want to venture into a business is actually motivation because when you are motivated to start the particular business you will also be motivated to gain knowledge about that particular business and from there you can succeed on it.

Motivation has its role to play when it comes to venturing into businesses but on the long run it requires a lot of discipline and knowledge for you to really succeed. If you study people who are successful in business you will realise that they are very much knowledgeable about the business they are doing and at the same time they are also motivated.

Motivation is just a drive to a sustainable business from my own perspective. Motivation is that persistence that would not make you give up on a business venture. Well, motivation is never enough guarantee or a yardstick in starting a business. For example, if someone is a writer or loves writing poems, he or she can say that poems serves as a motivation but if you have never engaged in a business, how is it possible to be so sure that the motivation would not linger along the way? Experience and effective planning is what is very necessary in setting up a sustainable business. When a business owner is faced with challenges, and he is almost at the verge of giving up or quitting the business, what keeps him going is the motivation, what makes him to continue and look for solutions or ways to revive the business is the power of motivation.


Motivation is not experience and at times, motivation can be temporary for some people. Experience, quality or effective planning and right decision making is the fuel that an entrepreneur needs before he can decide to venture in a business. Motivation or passion is never enough guarantee that you would succeed in a business.

Is your motivation to work enough to start a business instead of acquiring knowledge about a skill?

Some time ago, reached out to a few entrepreneurs and startup founders. One of those things that was common with all of them was their motivation to do what they did. They were very positive about their journey and the path that they are taking. Most of them are self-taught, but they all had one thing in common - they wanted to learn new things and be able to use those skills in their business.

The question that I wanted to answer is if it's possible for someone who doesn't want to learn new skills or develop their own ideas, run business based on their motivation alone.

I believe that everyone has a different way of doing things and some people might just need the motivation of learning something new in order to get started on their business idea. I have been thinking about this for long.Do have to go for additional training in order to establish the business have in mind despite having different specialty.

Thanks for sharing , it is very important for us to put so many things into consideration when thinking of going into a business ,there is no need for you to be over confident in a business you are not establish yet or a business you are about to establish when you are not very sure of the future.

If starting a business is the problem , so many people could have start a business to a point we could not possibly imagine but that is just not the problem , the problem is starting a business and managing this business to a successful stage . That is one of the things that a lot of people are not capable of doing.

I also suggest that learning all the necessary skills and getting all the necessary information that will help you succeed in the business you are going into is one of the best thing every enterpreneur has to do for them self.

Having the motivation to work is absolutely very good because when an individual have a motivation to work he or she is endeavoured to be determined in order to achieve what he or she intend to accomplish but having a motivation is not just having motivation but having a strong and bold one . It is absolutely true that some people have been asking themselves whether they are motivation to work is definitely enough time for them to acquire a skill or more experience before establishing a business of their own .

Well my answer to that question is based on the fact that some people are naturally born to be entrepreneurs and are naturally born with experience of what it means to establish and also to manage a business but he heads to some extent we all need more experience in order to differentiate a particular thing from another and that definitely is not something that we all are being taught in our mother's womb but rather we must go to school and also passed through some training possible tertiary institutions on business in order to acquire more experience and more skill like this . Motivation is definitely important for business establishment but acquiring more skills is most important . .

It is true, knowledge helps you understand the market better to start a business and keep it running. You need to formulate a plan and go with that. It is easy to start but it gets tough to sustain the different things that may come in the middle of the success you want to achieve. Self motivation is important to overcome it.
