Are You Really Cut Out To Be An Entrepreneur?

Hi Mike,

This is a great approach to the question of 'are you really cut out to be an entrepreneur, but can I put forward a contrarian view?

Namely, I would like to support the idea that it is not the type of person that makes an enterprise succeed but rather what they do and how they go about it. On that basis, anyone with a passion and commitment to their idea can make it happen.

I say this on the basis of personal experience and a deal of academic research, although I am aware that it is hard to dismiss the idea that people with, say, a high need for achievement, is more likely to succeed. I guess I just like the idea of inclusivity within entrepreneurship.

Am I just an idealist??

Mark.
