Getting an MBA degree before starting a business is good as it is not necessary the elements that are needed to help you succeed in business is beyond education as what you need is a strong will to succeed and not only a MBA infact all the business CEOs known today did not start with an MBA it just the mentality and mindset to win

This is a good motivation, how academics change the mindset of a personality that is ready to be tested in the environment and competition and all generations of the nation have the right to choose education and complete it even the elderly 
. Let's see, there are many real world summaries and synopsis understanding of the past.
Some of the people I met were comparing the owner of the company with only the knowledge of experience by working in other people's companies with the qualifications that the company wanted. There are indeed pluses and minuses from proof of income, success, and attitude. The point is which one is the owner and which one is the manager. This should be a natural thing and there is no need for discussion that seems to doubt the background of educational degrees, because smart people complement to increase the scope and turnover of the company. And I agree that everyone needs cooperation because it is not about who is the strongest or the smartest, the point is to be able to work together as a team because humans are symbiotic mutualism, including successful people/company owners have their weaknesses.

MBA is nothing if you dont know how to use knowledge or havent developed right set of skills for business. A lot of MBA students know theory, but when they are given tasks, they cant do anything, because they dont have any experience. If someone thinks, that after getting MBA, his company will be more successful than other on the market, then such person will be surprised to find out that market is rules not by the level of diploma, but by people.
It is also because many students have such short-sighted thinking that they think that today education and degrees are useless and they do not admit that that weakness comes from themselves. It is true that a degree cannot bring them success because knowledge alone is not enough and they need experience. But it should not be blamed on the degree or education, but their stupidity in not being able to promote what they have been taught. Why don't we ask the question that many people who study with us have the same degrees as us but they can get stable jobs and become entrepreneurs while we can't?
A degree does not guarantee our success, but if we own it and take advantage of what we are taught in school, we will certainly have a higher chance of success than many people who do not have a degree or education.

That's true but given that they get into the real world of business and employment, they will learn additional knowledge with that. Actually having an MBA is actually a good start if you just like to sit and be in the corporate world until you retire but it's a different story when you're starting to think of owning a company. Being immersed in the actual business will give you more prospect of companies wanting to hire you than of having an MBA but, there are companies that value the traditional education and the knowledge that you acquire there. But to be honest, many don't rely on them anymore as it's like the company is the one pushing employees to have MBAs than graduating with an MBA then getting hired.If someone thinks, that after getting MBA, his company will be more successful than other on the market, then such person will be surprised to find out that market is rules not by the level of diploma, but by people.
Exactly, there is more to see and experience the actuality of how brutal the real competition in the world of business is. But don't get scared with that, you'll eventually get to have colleagues and connections that will help you out with that. Getting an MBA is going to give you a lot of connections in the academe, professors, admins and staff of your institution and apart from that, the classmates that you have been with your batch could also be one of the greatest connections that you'll ever have as you network with them.

By having this degree you are expected to be more advanced than those who don't have that degree.
You still need to have at least a little background knowledge so a MBA would be extremely useful albeit it is not necessarily a requirement to build a company. I know lots of businessmen who did not have educational attainment but started a business and when their business grew they decided to go and study.
The point is if you have the chance to study then I say go for it but otherwise don’t be discouraged if you can not afford to have a degree.

It is generally better for you to know as much as possible before opening a company. Getting an MBA will definitely help you because you will learn various business concepts and techniques. The only advantage that there is with going straight into a company is that you will save yourself the stress and time and just go right into practice. But my advice is that one should be fully equipped so they can perform at maximum productivity.

To get an MBA degree, it is very necessary before you start starting a business. The for achieving business is a special degree for business and running it so that it is feasible and optimal when entering the world of work which is expected to start a company. It would be good if you had a background in the world of education along with your insight. Having experience is the best teacher to carry out an MBA degree, at least you have to expand yourself. By having this degree you are expected to be more advanced than those who don't have that degree.

Honestly speaking, no one would be affordable to intentionally be engaged on any business areas that'd squander their funds but yet, most of the business venturers are ignorant to build solid knowledges that could effortlessly consist on solicitating to build their venturee with a solidly and contentious to main a long run without being crashed.
So I'd as well recommend the MBA program to be a reliable source by which one can actually acquire strong and efficient factors to structure and frame their avenues so they can always stay strong still to accountable progressiveness.
I'm also aware that even investors who're opportuned to the MBA has underrated it because they feels that it's either waste of time, energy and resources in going through the MBA while the can just have their funds invested and doing so well with the lay knowledge with them.

I agree, having an MBA degree is very important especially if you're planning to expand your business venture. It is an investment to yourself because it will help you to hone your skills and to determine your ability to pursue your passion especially when it comes to business planning, it will help you to equip the process of processing complex issue ans practicing sound judgement in facing uncertainty With that, it will guide you to provide with a better sense of how you can effectively lead within an organization.
Instead on going these kind of MBA or whatever that courses or seminars, they would really be rather be getting information into the internet and would really be that trying out to hear out others
experiences on which they would really be that not tending to get some MBA or whatsover since they could really be able to learnt it up and on the time that they do gain up experience
then this is where they would really be making out adjustments and this is something that will really be that possibly they could be able to handle the situation.
When starting up a company then of course it would really be just that normal that you will really be needing to do the necessary steps for you to be able to handle up such
situation because having a business does require proper planning.

If you're for the business, no need for an MBA IMHO. But if you want to excel with the rankings in the academe or corporate, it's a ladder.
When you have good capital to start a business, an MBA degree is not needed, but when your business has started running, you need people with an MBA degree to work with you to build your business.
you don’t have to get a mba to read and learn if you have the will and desire then you can learn pretty much anything
The learning comes from experience with what we do and that's the same with business. Some get lucky that they find their success through their first tries. But if we're going to speak the entirety of the whole circle of business, failure is the first step into success and look at the every successful businessman, they'll say the same thing. Having an MBA is like a bonus.
Failing and losing in business is a very normal thing, but failing and then quitting is stupidity, business is not easy, there are even people who have started a business for years but haven't succeeded either. The point is to be patient and confident in the business you enjoy doing.

From personal experience - IBA is good, and it's helpful. That's a fact.
- Is it possible to start a business without an MBA degree? Yes, you can!
- Will your business be guaranteed to fail if you don't have an MBA degree ? No !
- Will your business get better after getting an MBA degree ? Probably !
- If you get an MBA degree and then start a business, will it be guaranteed to be successful ? No !
So MBA is not a panacea, it is a useful addition, which can save you time, nerves, money, and not to pass the "road of mistakes", or at least shorten the way along it !
In a word - it is desirable and recommended, but it is not necessary to get it before starting a business

There is a big difference between starting a business directly and starting a business after working in a business for a long time. It will take a few months for a new trader to understand how to start, how to finish or how to control everything, but for someone who has previous business experience, it will not be difficult at all and he will be able to do all the business related tasks very easily. If a businessman studies business separately, his business skills will improve and he will be able to take better business decisions. We have now become traders who are not interested in reading about business for four years but dream of making big money by doing business for four years.

A degree without the knowledge is pretty much useless and will not help you in any way even to find a job so thinking about starting a business its no, no for me. But if you are already having a successful running company or something and you lack the knowledge about expanding it further that is when the degree wil practically useful but it can be done by hiring someone with the degree and extracting the information from them and the founder can concentrate on basic things while ensures the security of the business.
Knowledge is great power and degree does not in practical life. I saw many people who made a company without any degree and they became successful in their field. I also saw many people they are academic educated but they are not able to build any computer and I saw people who have a degree of BBA but they are failed to get a job in good company. I saw many people who are academic educated and they also built their company and they achieved a huge success in World of business. Success depends on your interest in your field And someone who gets knowledge of something with interest become successful because degree is just a piece of paper that can't write your fate. Consistency in any field is a key to success .
True, Skill is all that matters but for some growth gets hindered just because we are not graduated from top tier colleges because I have seen the difference in payout between MBA graduates from ordinary colleges and top tier colleges, top companies hires from top tier colleges. There shouldn't be any bias in our education system as same quality of education should be provided to everyone and skill should be considered. The stories you hear about college drop outs starting companies and becomes billionaire are just good for motivation but in real life it's different.

Why don't we look at what people with actual businesses have to say about getting an MBA then becoming an entrepreneur or just starting a business without it.
https://www.sidehustlenation.com/get-an-mba-or-start-a-business/
@livingfree - you can read that article as well as a lot of them have similar view as yours. The best thing is that it's coming from people with real business experience and not just from theories.
My take on that is consider taking an MBA if someone is going to pay it for you. If it ain't free then it's probably better to put that money straight into business. If you're still not confident to start then find a cheaper alternative. One who completed MBA by taking a $40K loan have this to say,
Thanks for that, I've read it and usually those that gets their MBA usually tells that their salary has increased, so there's no business in there but more of employment and that's what I am saying about the corporate ladder. https://www.sidehustlenation.com/get-an-mba-or-start-a-business/

...It was only after I completed my degree that I discovered many of the online teachers in the area of information products, digital marketing and passive income. Knowing what I know now, I could’ve spent about $5K on education in very specific areas to accomplish the goals I have now set for myself.
Anyway, different views and takes that are interesting that we've got. Those that values more their MBA, it's true that it's one of the greatest achievement one can take and it's not an easy path.
The same goes to the ones that goes directly in business and their failures and mistakes are their enrolment fees.
