1. Entrepreneurs are born.
There is no entrepreneur DNA. It’s true that there are people that are better fit to be entrepreneurs than others, but entrepreneurs aren’t born. It takes certain acquired skills to be a successful entrepreneur. There is no magic formula. They are learnable skills. Sales, negotiating, accounting, people skills are just a few important skills that make a successful entrepreneur. Nobody is born with great sales or accounting skills. You can learn all the necessary skills if you want to succeed. Don’t believe for one second if you weren’t born with some gift of entrepreneurship you have no chance of making it. According to a recent Fidelity survey, 86 percent of millionaires are self-made. Successful entrepreneurs come from all sorts of socio economic and educational backgrounds. To say that entrepreneurs are born is like saying that you have to have blond hair and blue eyes to succeed.
