I say born, I had alemonade stand, paper route, car detailing biz all by 21.

I think Entrepreneurs see things differently. When I see a opportunity my mind start working, idea, possibilities etc.

We are born this way, and in time we are made to refine and be better Entrepreneurs.

Rich, Although some may be born. I believe as you the majority are self-made. Much the same way a top sales person can be made – that is by learning what to do, learning to recognize opportunity and following through.

Not a bad idea. May have to be something I pursue later on. I agree that people would like to read about how people made it and what they credit having “made it” to.

I'd love to see an extended discussion on the 'made vs born' argument, with a lot of opinions from successful entrepreneurs who have made it (on whether they think that they were born entrepreneurs or made their way into it. Would make an interesting read.

Srini, yeah that was cool. It's awesome that blogcastFM is focusing on its business model from day 1. It is a great idea and one I think can be very successful.

You are in such a great opportunity to learn from the successful people! Maybe you should write a book about it?

Rich,

I actually read that article. One of the coolest things in that article I found was the Fastrac organization. It looks like they are a free organization that Entrepreneurs can belong to which provides courses and connections to other people. As we grow BlogcastFM I'm moving more and more towards treating it like a business. I'm hoping to do that much sooner than I did with Skool of Life. But, I think that article was a great testimonial for the fact that people are made into entrepreneurs.
