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
