I always say it’s easier to teach an engineer business than it is to teach an MBA engineering. Not shit-talking MBAs since I am one, but the degree doesn’t confer knowledge; only that you passed a selection filter and probably have an extensive network of other people who passed the filter.

Don’t shy away from learning the business. The hardest part of my MBA was accounting — and you can take an accounting class at community college.
