Can an illiterate succeed in business?

moseschidera · Sep 18, 2023

While living without the ability to read or write poses many challenges, being illiterate does not determine whether one can succeed in business. Those who lack a formal education can still cultivate valuable life skills through experiences. Determination, creativity, and a willingness to learn from mistakes are greater predictors of entrepreneurial success than any degree. Throughout history, some hugely successful business owners overcame illiteracy through developing strong social skills, working hard, and following their passions.
Where there is a will, a way can surely be found.

Illiteracy should not be a hindrance for success. Every human being has the right to exercise what it wishes to. There are always means to address these deficiencies and as long as the person is willing to learn I see no problem at all.

Anybody can succeed in business once he have the necessary resources like funds and resources. I have seen business men who are successful even without attaining formal education. Though education can be an added advantage but is not most.

The most important consideration is.one must be industrious and hard working. There are the so-called street smarts too who did not have the privilege to have a formal education yet became successful in the end. It's the perseverance that matters.

I agree that determination and the ability to adapt can often outweigh formal education in the world of business. Some of the most inspiring success stories come from individuals who faced challenges like illiteracy but persevered through sheer determination.

There are a few tycoons in my location who do not have formal education. They are very successful in business. I think the key is having an entrepreneurial spirit, determination and hard working.

Yes, you are right, there are indeed illiterate people. But he understands money calculations and has business skills. They can be successful in business with the skills they have. For example: A successful painter, even though he is illiterate, can create good paintings so he can sell them at a high price.

In some countries, powerful politicians and government employees are using illiterates as proxies for their business, so that they are not caught in case there is any trouble. The success of a business depends to some extent on how well connected the business owner is.

For me I can say that it's possible for the illiterates to succeed in the world of business. Once a person understands the basic principles of business they can be successfully in it.

experience is something that is worth more than all but if you have education and a sharp brain that can you make you far ahead of what others are just comtemplating and you are on it certainly on the moment indeed .

Yes it is extremely possible to make money be it online or offline irrespective of your educational background. Though there might be some limits as to what you can do without being educated.

Money can lead an illiterate to become a big-time businessman with the help of trustworthy people. There are people who lack education but are wise and smart. They learned something new every day through observation and practice. They can also acquire an informal education or hire a tutor to teach them to read and write basics.
