People who are qualified are symphonic orchestra players and jazz musicians; they're qualified to do what they do. Rock stars are lucky.

Gene SimmonsEducation, especially business education will only give you tools. What you do with these tools is all that matters. Life and business isnโt paint by numbers. You have to think for yourself. You have to invent yourself. You have an inferred fiduciary mandate to yourself, and that means, itโs your responsibility to learn people skills, and language skills, in order to increase your chances of success. You also have to be at the right place, at the right time, with the right thing. Mostly and invariably, the real product youโre going to be selling isโฆ.you.
