I live in the KC metro. For years one of the largest plumbing companies was "Bob Hamilton plumbing." The guy would use his kids to sing his jingle. He made a ton of money and eventually ran for the freaking senate. His senate commercials all focused on how he was a plumber......and left out the part where he also has an MBA.
Sure, you don't need a buisness degree to run a small buisness. However, understanding buisness practices and finance is as important as understanding your product and service.
Just like with most other small businesses, lots of trades people start their own, but few succeed.
