“Entrepreneurs are not naturally born, But nurturally made.
Entrepreneurship is actually not a destiny, But a qualification.”
The question is whether entrepreneurs are born or made. To answer this question, first we need to know who is an entrepreneur. According to Eric Ries: Anyone who is creating a new product or business under conditions of extreme uncertainty is an entrepreneur. Also have a look at what is entrepreneurship:
Therefore, by now it is quite clear that entrepreneurship is not an inherent quality despite it can be learnt by practicing, getting in an environment of productive people, and by experience.
So why a large proportion of entrepreneurs are those who born in entrepreneurial communities:
Now this thought might come in mind that if entrepreneurs are made, so why it is observed that larger proportion of entrepreneurs are from entrepreneurial communities. The answer to that question is simple that children born in business communities are more likely tend to get an environment where they grow up watching entrepreneurs and business persons around them so that early training give them the superiority over one who is not from such community.
So the bottom line is that Entrepreneurs are made not born.
