Do You Really Need Experience to Start a Business?

[Nomad]

If you look at the successful entrepreneurs, you would see most people started without any experience in their industries. For example, prior to Tesla and SpaceX, Musk had no experience running these electric motor company or space program. However, he did powerful idea and a vision about the future of electric car and reusable rocket. Same goes with Jeff Bezos, he did not have any experience running internet business..

Having experience in related field certainly helps hut what matters most is having a great idea and working towards that idea.

While you don't actually need experience to startup most businesses, having experience does gives you an extra advantage overtime.

You do not need to have experience in starting a business, but you need to have the skills and the passion to run your business.

I didn't have experience when I started my milk tea business. I only acquired an experience after attended a seminar on milk tea franchising.

I don't think experience has to come from yourself or directly building a business. It can also come from helping your parents' business, working for others, etc. Elon Musk previously worked at Pinnacle Research and Rocket, and in the early 1990s, he also worked odd jobs.

You need experience to start a business. That is inevitable. Starting a business without the necesssy experience for your level would get you ripped off.

You can start a business when you have no experience. You don't need experience all the time

 

[Stardom22]

LI think that anyone can start business. However there are only a few experienced people that make achieve success on business. Remember, everything good comes with a price.

By all means get experience but don't necessarily wait for it before you start out

 

[Starmix]

You can acquire experience through practice. If you don't have experience, it doesn't mean you can start a business. What matters is learning through action and through the power of your mind and common sense.

Yes experience is the best teacher but it is good to start from whatever knowledge you know

I completely agree with your perspective. Starting a business is a step that anyone can take, but success requires learning, dedication, and patience. Not everyone starts with experience, but everyone has the opportunity to learn and grow.

Those who succeed have often gone through many challenges, learned from their mistakes, and refined their methods. Success does not come by chance, but with daily effort and true discipline. Even small steps can make a big difference over time.

It is possible that you can leverage on the experience of the people that you have employed to manage your business for you and your business succeeds. But it is risky. The business manager cam defraud you and the business. You won't know.

It is not good to start a business with zero experience. It would surely cost you a lot having zero experience and starting a business.

You don’t need experience to start, but you do need persistence. Most people learn by doing, not by waiting until they ‘know enough’.
