Are Entrepreneurs BORN...or MADE?

ARE ENTREPRENEURS BORN OR MADE?

Encountered this question in a LinkedIn group....Lot of interesting ideas from some very talented folks...
Thought it would be nice to add my 2 cents to the burgeoning treasury...
So here's Ani's answer to the Q....

They are NEITHER Born NOR Made...


IMHO....they GERMINATE....

to draw an analogy....


ALL of us (people of the world) are like seeds (millions...with unlimited potential but blissfully dormant)

...MOST of us go wasted (die and get dried in the compressor of life), SOME get eaten by animals

.....and SOME lucky ones get dropped in soil...

........a FEW of them find the the right atmosphere (air, sunshine and water...love)

............and when ALL THESE factors are optimal (i.e incubator of life)

...............ONLY A FEW of these germinate to become saplings (budding entreprenneurs)....

...................again only a FEW of THESE grow and become saplings (eager to grow and conquer the world)

.............................and a very few can become HUGE Trees
....................................(that can create new seeds)......


What do think of this take....cryptic.....crazy....coool....
I felt it was a nice metaphorical take on the entrepreneurial journey....after all only 1 in 1000 take the jump and 1 in 100000 get the success...pretty the same ration of seeds becoming trees

So much for today
