Entrepreneur Factory
A recent TechCrunch blog entry asked “Can Entrepreneurs Be Made?” The piece is a great summary of recent research in this field. It’s also generated a lot of useful and fascinating discussions.
Most research indicates entrepreneurs are made. How entrepreneurs are made is much less certain.
I’ve given it some thought and believe most people (if not everyone) has the potential to become an entrepreneur. That said, I don’t think there is a cookie-cutter factory method for making entrepreneurs. Furthermore, without a large shift in our society, I doubt entrepreneurs can be mass produced.
It’s a fanciful analogy, but I suspect entrepreneurs are Sleeping Beauties waiting to be waken by the right combination of factors (which probably don’t include any princes or kisses). I suspect these “factors” are universal, but that the degree of intensity for each factor is unique to each potential entrepreneur.
The No Idea Factory inspires entrepreneurs everywhere – and causes others to dream of an entrepreneur factory,
