Success never came easily. In the past, businesses may not have had evil corporations to defeat but they limited resources for advertisement among other problems. Today, advertising has become so easy all thanks to social media. But success hasn’t become easier just because we have more resources now. People have great opportunities to start something. Startups, if they are based on unique ideas, can instantly attract people’s attention but attracting attention and keeping it are two different things. And a world that is full of big companies and established brands is hard to win over. Capitalist society survives on competition but it also leaves room for corporations to get so big that it becomes impossible to compete with them, let alone defeat them.
People go to famous business schools so they can learn all the tips and tricks of running a company successfully. And yes, a good business school can teach people valuable thing. But running a business is a lot more than having the right knowledge. If you don’t know how to use your intuition to make the right decisions then your knowledge can easily go to waste. Even if you end up making a small mistake like choosing the wrong delivery service, it can have a negative impact on people’s perception of your company.
