Are entrepreneurs born, bred or both?

Question

as in can people be successful entrepreneurs without going thru formal education and all that stuff.. Please provide reasons..

Answer 1

a true one is born as he has the ambitious spirit and is able to identify with being his own boss, seeing potential and opportunity, taking risks... I mean you can learn that, but it seems the most successful business starters have been doing it from the beginning... are you looking at going into business? If your open to a conversation contact me directly...

Answer 2

Both, you can be bred into one b/c of a rich high class family and expected to become an entreprenuer. But on the other hand some people are born to do certain things (everyone has a purpose). Some people are meant to be successful and some are not.

Answer 3

Life is full of choices. If somebody choose the track that leads to be an entrepreneur, he would become an entrepreneur. He doesn't have to be educated.

There are news about rich people who are dropped out in schools.

I guess, there are different avenues for making money. Educated people choose technology or scientific areas. Whereas uneducated people just do transactions that give them profit.
