I grew in a family that preached independence and entrepreneurship, so I almost feel like it was in my blood when I came into the world....

But I've seen people who never displayed much business sense but through hard work and determination they were able to build successful businesses.

Is it all instincts?

Or is it tauqht and mastered?

Hi Duane, I think "entreprenuers" is more like a skill that each and everyone of us can develope.

Oia Can anybody help me finding an information about
other "ClickBank-alike" merchants?

Real entrepreneurs my friend, are "born to be made".

I believe being entrepreneurial is situational. When a 'situation' arises, people can be very creative (or destructive) and make great things happen.

To that end, each of us has the potential to be many things. However, we make choices that determine what we do. This perhaps means that entrepreneurs are both born (in that we all have an inherent capacity to achieve great things) and made (in that we can make ourselves entrepreneurs by leveraging the inherent greatness and choosing that specific direction).

Of course, upbringing ... or family environment ... provides a situation that may be conducive or not conducive to entrepreneurial exploitation.

Those who believe in reincarnation would possibly say that those who are excellent at anything in this life, probably had experience doing the same thing in past lives. An example of how our experience fits this philosophy is when a person 8 years old masters a musical instrument exceptionally well, but seems to have had insufficient experience to have reached such a high standard.

It's an interesting debate.

Hi,

All I can say is, no matter what kind of upbringing people have, they all turn out differently. I was raised in one of those "9 - 5" families but I am an entrepreneur. I also know people raised in an entrepreneurial family who firmly believe it's impossible to create a working business (despite the fact their parents have done it).

Most definately made.

The debate rages on: Are entrepreneurs born or made? And the answer is simple. Let's visualise a five year old sitting in his neighbourhood selling lemonade at a lemonade stand. Imagine he's encouraged by his parents to sell more. Imagine the neighbours as they give him a big smile, a pat on the back and buy the watery lemonade without grumbling. Imagine he goes home that day with a bagful of coins.

That is the day he becomes an entrepreneur.

Because the reverse scenario works as well. If the same child was discouraged from setting up the lemonade stand. If the same child was scowled at by passerbys. If the same child went home with nothing that evening. That child would be discouraged. About twenty such discouraging attempts at entrepreneurship, and the child would decide they're lousy at selling.

Selling is a tough job. Entrepreneurship arises from the core of salesmanship. The more you sell, the more you see results. The more you see results, the more you are encouraged. The more you are encouraged, the more you see ideas of entrepreneurship fill your system.

You see, someone has to believe in you. You can believe in yourself for only so long before you get discouraged. But even the slightest encouragement can take a person from being a failure to a roaring success. Sometimes the encouragement comes from a kind word. Sometimes it comes from a teacher or mentor. Sometimes it comes from money in the bank.

When a person tastes instant encouragement, they become entrepreneurs. Then there's no looking back. Ever.
