Not everyone is an entrepreneur, so have the ability to be productive and some does not. The same with management skills, some got them, some is better at following.

This is definitely false. Not all people possess the ability to become entrepreneurs. It take a special mindset and a very specific skill set to be an entrepreneur, it also requires patience, critical thinking abilities, and the competencies for business solutions and creativity. Entrepreneurial endeavors are time consuming, and I will say that not everyone embodies the soul and spirit of a self-starter and self-motivator, because that's what you have to be in order to call yourself an entrepreneur.

Thank you for invitation,

Disagree, Why; only those who posses abilities , its not a matter of entrepreneurship , it is long efforts , struggling , and hard working.

While some some people nowadays want to be entrepreneurs without pushing any kind of efforts.

In The Entrepreneurial Instinct, sought after small business expert Monica Mehta looks past the rags to riches stories to explore the role of mind, behavior, and brain chemistry in our ability to be successful entrepreneurs. Interviews with entrepreneurs reveal the traits and habits that allow them to thrive.

Groundbreaking insight from neuroscience and psychology experts uncovers the scientific explanations behind self-made mavericks’ seemingly innate knack.

More important, Mehta explains how you can use these discoveries to replicate their success by:

  • Taking rewarding risks
  • Overcoming fears and failure
  • Thriving in the face of ambiguity
  • Using your innate talents to find financial independence and make millions

The Entrepreneurial Instinct weaves together the incredible self-made stories of the founders of CLIF Bar, Carol’s Daughter, Marquis Jet, Skip Hop, KIPP Charter Schools, J Brand, Tahari, Apple, Paul Mitchell Systems, and Dogfish Head Beer.

None of these anecdotes involves higher education, meticulous planning, or years of gathering seed money. These stories are about seemingly average people who possessed a keen understanding of how their minds worked―and used that knowledge to their advantage. In a time when the prospect of unemployment or the loss of life savings is high, the need to seize control of your own destiny is greater than ever.

The Entrepreneurial Instinct offers much-needed techniques for using our innate capabilities to make more with less.

Now is the time to learn what you’re made of. Now is the time to make your move. Now is the time to tap into your Entrepreneurial Instinct and create your own story of small business success.

I think my view, being an academic because that question has taken on urgency recentlyraising many issues , so that the question gives us to another important one :

Are Entrepreneurs Born or Made ?

First issue: Entrepreneurship education vs. natural ability

 Some personalities are much more favorable for entrepreneurship. It is an important thing, and it really constrains and influences outcomes. As a consequence, if you want to know who's most likely to be an entrepreneur, don't go to a business school and see who has taken entrepreneurship courses. The more important thing is to look at someone's personality and ability to bear risks. I would stress that I'm not saying genetics is the whole thing-I do think experience and knowledge and observation and environment count. But I'm not sure you can teach somebody to love to take risks. It seems hard-wired in the individual.

Second issue: The characteristics of entrepreneursEntrepreneurs are different, they have the ability to deal with uncertainty, to take risks and tolerate ambiguity. They usually have a personality that is mercurial, and they have highs that are really high and lows that are really low. There's good evidence that they have strong self-confidence but also tend to be overoptimistic. They rely extensively on their own intuition.

Based on previous issues , it has been clear that entrepreneurs can be made or born , so anyone can be entrepreneur.

I disagree with that statement, simple because you can't teach people to be fearless.

Entrepreneurship is about being creative, innovative, patient, persistent ... and more of personal skills !

If a person is able to develop his/her skills and learn entrepreneurship techniques, then he/she should be able to be an entrepreneurship !

Totally disagree because GOD is biggest Entrepreneurs and he will never give such a skill to everyone. If everyone posses such ability then this world never survive because everyone would stick on the same same place and there will not be the availability of others then it would not work well.
