Entrepreneurship is a talent in us that awaits to be
tapped. Surrounding oneself with entrepreneurs and
having an interest in the same enables us to tap that
potential in us.

Dear Catherine Kamping,
I believe that if we as the youth have the believe that intreprenuers are
born we will always have the excuse that " Well I was not born with it"
training is waht makes great business men, lets instill this to all the
youth in the world.
Thanks,

Dear Catherine,
i think enterprenuers are born and made,born because there is the
natural,inborn desire to work, create and succeed in some individuals.Yet
on the other hand entreprenuars can be made through training,experience
sharing,conditions,environment etc.
thank you.

Dear Catherine,
I believe an entreprenuer can never be made,an
entreprenuer is born.The reason if believe so is that
most people have undergone the so called
entreprenuerail traninig and have ended up failing in
bussiness whereas others without any training whatso
ever have still made a success of themselves in
business. Think of people like Bill Gates,and Horace
Moses, and others we do not know about. Who trained
these guys and how put it that creativity and vigour
that other people don't have.
Think about this.
Thanks

Dear teddy,
Was Bill Gates born bill gates of Microsoft with all
his knowledge and everything and was he earning
millions of dollars as Bill Gates when he was born? Of
course no it all started with a vision of being Bill
Gates and setting up an enterprise who could tell that
his venture will become the Microsoft of today, he was
not born Bill Gates the entrepreneur who own Microsoft
but he study and trained himself to be an entrepreneur
with the vision and a goal and he did succeed. And to
be another person as successful as Bill Gates is
always possible, it lie in your very hands you and I
might not be Bill Gates but I can be successful in my
own field of specialty and enterprise and create
another history, why concentrate to be the shadow of
Bill Gates if I can be someone else of who I am.
And just as MAH said in her/his response, there are
indeed various ways of how to be entrepreneurs or
provide avenue for young people to be entrepreneurs,
open windows of opportunities, create enterprise
staffed by young people, training and skills
development, etc.
Being an entrepreneur starts from within you, once you
start to have a vision and made a decision to make
your vision a reality then your are an entrepreneur.
Entrepreneurship according to the dictionary is
innovation, risk taking, dash, etc?
And hemanta good to hear from you as well and I agree
that determination is one of the most important
ingredients to be a successful entrepreneur together
with your vision and goal, believe in yourself and
don't just rely to outside factors such as gov't
etc?and its not always money but its considerably very
important no enterprise and development initiative
will survive without money but the proper allocations
and sources of it will determine the success and
impact of your initiative.
