In this article, I have something essential to share with you all. I want to discuss the impact of education on business and the development of our society.

It has an enormous impact on Entrepreneurs as how they grow and build a brand.

Before I share the effects of education on Business Owners and Entrepreneurs, let me share an incredible story of three friends so that you narrate it to this blog.

Listen to the podcast here!

Let’s get started and understand it.

Story Of Three Friends

The Impact Of Education On Business:

A Village-

Once upon a time, three friends lived in an old village near a large forest. The town was a small one and had a small population.

Most people in the city would indulge in day-to-day activities for business purposes.

In contrast, the others would work as woodcutters, cutting and selling the woods in city markets.

The town had three young boys full of passion and grit to earn money to change their family and the village’s economic conditions.

 

The Three Friends:

The boys shared a strong bond; thus, they wanted to settle upon the same profession.

The wood cutting industry was flourishing because the forest possessed a rare kind of wood famous around the region for its unparalleled qualities.

Hence, the boys decided to pursue their careers in the woods.

The Electric Cutter:

Each of them started their business. They would go to the forest, cut the woods and then sell it in the market.

Several days passed, and two friends felt they were earning far less than they should; hence, they needed an upgrade.

So they decided to buy an electric woodcutter that would cut double the quantity simultaneously as an axe.

Although purchasing an electric woodcutter took several months of constant effort, the results were worth waiting for.

Each of the two friends had an instant boost to their profit, and the friend, who didn’t invest in the cutter, was left far behind.

The Search For Better Markets:

Several more months passed, one of the friends realized that it is vital for them to find better markets, as markets with the lesser competition may offer more prices, earning more significant profits.

Hence, he decided to search for needs in other regions. Although spending time searching for markets resulted in a delay of several weeks as no work could be done, the search unveiled to him multiple markets that offered a considerable profit margin.

The selling price in the newer market was as high as twice the one provided in older markets.

The Difference Between The Three:

Several years passed, and the three friends met again; their conditions differed from when they began their business.

One of the friends has maintained the same lifestyle as before, as he could earn a sufficient amount used in his family’s day-to-day running.

The second friend was better than the other as he has settled his business and has earned a decent amount over time, his earning was good enough for his sustenance, and he compiled adequate reserves as savings.

The last friend turned out to be the best amongst the group as he had turned his business into a large firm that employed hundreds of people.

The employees ranged from woodcutters to transporters and commission-based sellers; his business flourished around the country, making him one of the village’s wealthiest people.

The Main Determinants Of Business Success

The story contains an essential description of the business conditions in the real world. There are three factors in determining the success of your business.

The first goes as “idea,” the better your idea, the more you earn.

 

 

However, if your idea isn’t supported by parallel execution, it would just be a good idea and not a profitable business.

The second determinant is “your experience,” as it is widely believed that experience teaches you lessons that no book can. This statement is no myth.

Experience can help you overcome obstacles better and minimize their impact on the business.

The last and the most critical determinant is “your knowledge.” It plays a fundamental part in the establishment of a successful business.

If you didn’t figure how a lock works, it would be a folly to put your finances in it.

 

Idea |Experience |Knowledge

The first friends only had the idea that all other industry competitors possessed.

The second one learned from his experience, which fewer people did, thus had better profits.

Lastly, the third person had unrivaled knowledge about the market, and therefore he was the most successful of them.

How Educated Employees Benefit Your Business?

Life is a combination of ups and downs. Sometimes you will suffer through a rough patch while the sun might shine to its glory the other day.

Starting a business is a decisive step in one’s life as it has the potential to bring a massive change in your life for generations to come.

There might be reasons that 50% of all the business startups quit their operations in the first five years while half of them won’t even last a year.

As mentioned above, “education” has a vast influence on the success of a business, and it can bring an exponential rise to your profits and help you expand them.

This blog will discuss the impact education can bring to your business to be well equipped with everything you need before setting up your first foot in the business world.
