Entrepreneurs are born that way
Many people assume that entrepreneurial qualities are innate and that only people who have certain natural talents can be entrepreneurs. However, the truth is that almost anyone can become an entrepreneur if they can learn the necessary skills. Entrepreneurs may be gregarious extroverts or quiet introverts; they may be “big picture” thinkers or more focused on the details of executing an idea. Entrepreneurship is a learned skill, not a natural-born ability.

Some people may not attempt to start their own business because they don’t have a unique idea. It is not needed to reinvent the wheel to be an entrepreneur. There is nothing wrong with taking an existing idea and making your own business out of it.
Businesses either flourish or fail
Because the select few start-ups that skyrocket out of the gate receive the bulk of the media, it’s easy to adopt an all-or-nothing outlook on entrepreneurship. While many ventures make it big and many fail, a lot of businesses are run with patience and strategy with a focus on self-sustenance and gradual growth.
Entrepreneurs take lots of risks
Entrepreneurs take risks. With that said, they don’t necessarily take lots of risks or put themselves in high-risk situations all the time. Entrepreneurs learn how to take calculated risks. It is all about balancing the risk and reward.
One must know everything before starting a business
Real entrepreneurs thrive on being in a constant state of learning. They enjoy creating, improvising and pushing boundaries. Being new and even somewhat naïve can be an asset intoday’s rapidly changing world. That’s because succeeding at entrepreneurship requires energy, innovation and the ability to push yourself outside your comfort zone. It’s often not
what you know, but how fast you learn, that counts.
A lot of money is required to start any business
While certain amount of capital is required for take a business off the ground, it varies
depending on the business. The key in entrepreneurship is to start with resources available
and grow slowly and steadily. It is not necessary that one should fear or deter from
entrepreneurship due to lack of financial resources.
