Examples:

a. bilas ko... lahat ata ng pwedeng pagaralan, pinagaralan na nun... nagtayo ng school, nag mba, nag child psychology.... after two years, sarado na... again attempted to open a manpower agency... pero after 4 months, sinara na. what's wrong? the mindset and the lack of marketing skills.

b. negosyanteng kilalang kilala ko... graduate of a school in the US, pati MBA sa US.... nakaka limang negosyo na, lahat bumagsak.

compared with:

a. a president of an IT consulting firm.... graduate ng JRU, walang MBA..... thriving yung business nila.
b. a president of a large insurance company ... graduate ng UE, walang MBA... again, profitable yung business nila.

an MBA would give you an extra knowledge, but it does not define your success.
ako, i do not have an MBA, but two undergrad technical degrees and IT certifications.
i am at the helm of a company today, and it has been profitable for the last three years already. guts, skills and experience lang.
This is a very good point. Another perfect example is yung Perpetual dito sa Las Pinas. Yung current president ng school at medical facilities nila tapos ng MBA sa Harvard and Wharton pero walang pinagbago yung management styles. Hindi ma streamline yung business and napaka inefficient. Nanay ko pa gumagawa ng MBA assignments ng mga yun nung nag aaral pa

Yung asawa ko graduate sa probinsya at nung nag resign sa company last June 2015 naglakas ng loob magtayo ng sariling company. Ayun awa ng dyos nakaka tatlong sasakyan na and as of May 2015 6M revenue with 28% operating profit. Sa bahay lang nag office at isa lang ang tao. Kelangan lang malakas ang loob, may good marketing and communication skills and exceptional negotiation skills

Kung asa corporate world ka katulad ko, malamang kelangan mo MBA for job promotion. Pero in real life at kung magtatayo ka ng negosyo, kelangan mo as 1D4LV pointed out are guts, skills and experience. My wife always tells me that yayaman ka dahil sa negosyo hindi dahil mataas ang posisyon mo sa isang company. Due to her business success, I am inclined to believe her. Gusto ko na nga mag resign at maging ahente nya kaso di ko talaga linya magbenta
