Born to be an Entrepreneur?
Are Entrepreneurs Born? Or Made?
What do you think? Are you born an entrepreneur? Do you become one early in life? Or are entrepreneurs likely to start businesses out of hard-won expertise who then start a business around their skills and networks?
Recent research shows that entrepreneurs are not likely to come from entrepreneurial families. And not all business owners identified themselves as being entrepreneurial-minded in college. Instead, 69% started their own businesses within 10 years of working for someone else
In other words, the most likely path to entrepreneurship is the simplest one: you work for someone, become an expert in a technical area, build a network of contacts, then strike out on your own, presumably with a believe that you can solve a problem or build a better mousetrap than competitors
