Would you do something that you have no knowledge

[Nomad]

Would you attempt to do something, let's say a business, where you have zero knowledge. Let's say you have no idea about game development. Would you start a game development company? I believe you can certainly operate something that you do not have any knowledge provided you build a team of experts to assist you in the business operation.

Very probably, I won't. I prefer by far to choose a field I have studied in. In any way, if I particularly like a certain business and acquiring the new skill won't last centuries, I could think about such an option.

 

[Sanjeev]

No, I won't. I know without knowledge anything I will do I won't get sucess.

 

[eLdavis]

No I won't attempt this, I would be very worried each time. It's better i take out time to learn how to do it.

 

[Kross]

The feasibility study for the business is supposed to move you from zero knowledge. Starting a business with zero knowledge is a recipe for failure.

Most likely I will not do something I don't know, I have to learn it before I jump into it to avoid risks.

 

[King Belieal]

I don't do something that I have no knowledge about. Every business no matter how common you might look at it has technicalities that has to be navigated.

I don't think I will do something which I have no knowledge. Yes, you can hire a team to do that for you. But you have to rely on the team, and you cannot evaluate if they are making the right decisions.

 

[eLdavis]

If an opportunity is given to me to learn before starting or like in most jobs where you can learn as you work then I don't mind, but I would definitely let you know I have no knowledge about this before I start.

I don't think I will do something which I have no knowledge. Yes, you can hire a team to do that for you. But you have to rely on the team, and you cannot evaluate if they are making the right decisions.

Hiring a team to help you run your business can be disastrous. When the team knows that you really don't understand the business, they would exploit you.

Yes I would still try. A lot of discoveries came about by trial and error. Just try to learn new things even on things you have no pre knowledge on
