Made of course. Even if it's inside of you, you have to try and make it work before it can work. |

/ Everyone is born tabula rasa. The way you are raised determines if you will be filled with substance or full of crap. If you are full of crap, a mentor can fill your life with substance. If you are filled with substance, a bad influence can fill your life with crap. Ipso facto, entrepreneurs are made. \ 3 Likes 1 Share |

They were neither born, made nor lucky, this is what happens... Ecclesiastes 9:11 I returned, and saw under the sun, that the RACE is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but TIME and CHANCE happeneth to them all. |

hahn:I guess Dangote's children were not born to be rich. Nor were Otedola et al. You can't use one yardstick to explain life as a whole. Some born, others made, while yet others lucky. |

barry40: Hello there, nice points you've made, but I really do disapprove of your claim that entrepreneurs are born. Nobody was born as anything. Such ideology, in my opinion, is an excuse for complacency, and in the long run, does more harm than good. You cited an example of one who was born into a family of entrepreneurs, but you'll agree with me that being born into a family of entrepreneurs isn't conterminus to being born an entrepreneur. Whatever it is you are now are as a result of environmental influences, parental upbringing, and choices you've made in the yore during growth. As a child, you're malleable & spend most of your time with your family ideally. Be it as it may, you pick up their traits, demeanor & even foul languages overtime. That's the way it works. Nobody was born rich or poor, smart or dull—we were all born equally. However, some were born into more favourable households & situations than others, hence the dichotomy. |

Nice topic.First, who is an entrepreneur?An entrepreneur is that individual who generates and creates value for others and is now rewarded for the value created in the form of money.What then is value?Value is that which meets someone's needs,satisfies someone's wants and solves someone's problems.Create enough value for enough number of people and you will definitely become rich.Value must sufficiently be of enough quantity and of high quality to make one rich.Value must be either of enough quantity or high quality to make the creator(s) rich.Quantity and quality are the underlying factors of Value that determines whether one will be rich or not.Check all known successful entrepreneurs and you will see one common pattern emerge- They create value of either sufficient quantity,of high quality or both. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

Entrepreneurship is said to be the pursuit of opportunity beyond controlled resources. The underlined word here is controlled resources Fact is so long as we can't take away mentorship in entrepreneurship which could take various forms ranging from observation to actual training Then, I strongly argue in favor of Entrepreneurs are Made Myself and 25 others from Futminna are the first holders of B.Tech in Entrepreneurship Technology as far as Nigeria is concerned Nice one Op for such an insightful topic |

Ymodulus:My questions are:Why some babies are born destiny to misery and pooverty from the moment they are born, and others are born into lap of luxury er and success in life. Why some ppl will see opportunity, while cannot see same, why some ppl win lottery why others dont. If God discriminate among his children. Why some ppl are very smart and some ppl are not. If God create brain, why put a better brain in some ppl and less quality in others. Why some ppl are created with beatiful features while others are wowo, Why purnish a brand new baby that was born into poverty, hence less chance of success, not that they cant, the proberbility is less vs one born into riches. If African are the first ppl, why african suffer more in the world than others, 2 Likes |

I'll say it's a combination of the three , being born with the knack to be an entrepreneur isn't the only key to success as experience and a fair amount of luck is needed to be truly successful. |

[quote author=Ymodulus post=34456025]I see most people are in favour of entrepreneurs been made than be born, some say they are the two while others are opposing. Does this goes to say that, entrepreneurs been born or made or lucky, is a statement which answer cant be ascertained?[/quot] It's subjective, there's no universal assertion as far as the topic is concerned. Let me manoeuvre a bit,there re some students that are brilliant (as a result of studying hard/made) while some have natural brilliance in them (born/gifted). In an examination circumstance, the former will need to study hard to score an 'A' in an exam while the latter need not to study hard b4 having an 'A'.. So are entrepreneurs born or made ish.. By n large, The issue of entrepreneurs being made or born cannot be over-emphasised. 1 Like |

hahn: Lucky.. and made Zuckerburg later settled out of court when he was sued for his IP theft, but luckily his loses are dismal compared to how much he continues to make of this stolen work.. His mates trusted him so you can make the case Zuckerburg was enabled, thus you can say he was 'made' |

Though being an entrepreneur can be obtained through family history or background...mostly it's just interest abd determination or mentorship or influence of a mentor make one an entrepreneur, for mine...family background, but most importantly determination. Just my own view |

How sad such a great thread as this got to the FP more than A WHOLE MONTH after it was created! The world needs more enterprenuers. We need more enterprenuers to create jobs for our teeming youths and make life more meaningful for them. Any thread that tilts towards that should be given the appropriate attention and catapulted to FP as quickly as possible. We can't spend all our time arguing what politicians do or don't do! Thanks for all your great contributions. The topic of discuss has caught my attention many months before now. Ymodulus, thanks for your efforts. I'll revise this thread tomorrow by His grace. Good night. I believe they're both born and made. 1 Like 2 Shares |
