Will an MBA from a top school help me if I want to be a small business owner/franchisee?
Obviously, if you have an MBA it shows you have the discipline to not only attend school but to stick with it but other than that I do not believe it will dictate whether you become a successful business owner or not. Mark Zuckerberg, Steve Jobs nor Bill Gates went back to school to finish their bachelors and they all started and led billion-dollar companies. The traits required to be a great business owner can be learned outside of a school setting.
