DEMYSTIFYING ENTREPRENEURSHIP

          One is born an entrepreneur
          Entrepreneurial skills can be taught or acquired through
          practice.

          Entrepreneurship is synonymous to gambling
          Entrepreneurship involves the taking up of calculated risk.

          Entrepreneurs are young, dynamic and energetic
          individuals
          Age is just a number

          Entrepreneurs are driven by the desire to make money and
          money only
          Financial gain is a secondary objective of entrepreneurship

          Educated people are not entrepreneurs
          Level of education does not matter in entrepreneurship as
          long as they have the requisite traits
