Addressing the previous question that I posed, that can anybody be an entrepreneur?. well, in my candid opinion, I think not everybody can be. It should also be noted that one need to have such entrepreneurial qualities as innovative, courteous, risk bearer, time conscious, motivation etc.
At last week's barcamp held in Takoradi, on the theme, 'Leading and entreprising in an Oil driven economy', I ask One of the speakers in an informal conversation whether entrepreneus are born or made. Upon deliberation we got to realize that it is a blend of the two. Whiles one school of thought think they are born, others think they are made. Becoming a good entrepreneurs require hanrdwork, dedication, selfless and think outside the box.
