If the answer is no, what are some ways that can get a business started? I am currently a student working from pay check to pay check. I always wanted to have my own business, and at the moment I would like to start soon, and begin making some money. It would be nice especially after graduation when I have to start paying off school loans.

I have created logos and designs that I am trying to sell to people across the country. I want to set up a paypal account or something with an online store where people can buy the dsign directly from the website and they’ll press the design onto a shirt or something. Any suggestions?

OK people let’s be real, if you’re fresh out of college with an MBA and YOU DO NOT want to work a 9 to 5 and you go to investors offering them stock in exchange for money for a business you’re trying to start, will they look at you and think you’re half crazy on account of the fact that you have no business experience but you want their money?

Elliott asked:


In starting a business, or running a fledgling start-up, how can obtaining an MBA help? Wouldn’t real-world experience suffice?

I always thought an MBA was used to help your employer’s business, not your own.

I am managing a startup and we need a good lawyer. What kind of arrangement could I come to with a lawyer that would not require me to dole out large legal fees in the early stages of my venture?

freakonomics asked:


I know many entrepreneurs and they sell very well. I don’t know entrepreneurs who cannot sell. Is the noun entrepreneur created just to make it sound better than a sales person?
Thanks for quick replies.

Some mentioned entrepreneurs take their own risks. I think sales take risks too — their compensation is usually solely based on how well they sell. They are risking their time and reputation.

Another reason why I’m asking is that when financial institutions look for people to sell their products, they always advertise as:

Be your own boss, manage your own business, take control of your future, become an entrepreneur!

So, it seems entrepreneur = sales.

I wanna be a fish asked:


What type of business would you look for?
What do you think of direct sales or as some call it multi level marketing? I’m talking about real companies like Amway or Avon, not fake pyramids that don’t have a product to offer and they just want to churn people. Have you heard of Healthy Chocolate?
