Are Successful Entrepreneurs Born or Made?

Entrepre neurs succeed and fail in business, but they are still Entrepreneurs. Successful Entrepreneurs acquire certain skills and knowledge through experience to allow them to succeed more often than fail. Some inherent talents such as passion, creativity, determination, drive and the urge to achieve provide that edge can be learned but have a source perhaps in ones' psychological makeup. Just as these characteristics can be found in any profession they are extremely useful for an Entrepreneur who tends to face many challenges and requirements to adapt in an ever changing environment. "It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change." Charles Darwin Entrepreneurs tend to be creative, innovate leaders Have the ability to recognise an unmet need or a need for change, and; Have the nerve to do something about it. They are team builders of complementary talented people. They are risk takers, They recognise their weaknesses as much as their strengths They seek out complementary talents from others who together create a perfect team. They are inspirational leaders, not necessarily competitive but achievement orientated. They set personal goals rather than trying to beat anyone. They have the ability to see, live and breathe the vision and inspire others to do the same.
