Being an entrepreneur has become most popular nowadays. — Also, I can’t be an entrepreneur. So, I dedicate today to share my observations on this. So, let’s find out if being an entrepreneur is an inborn skill or can be learnt.

You have to read this post if —there is a constant battle between being an employee or being an entrepreneur in your mind. — you feel that being an entrepreneur is not your cup of tea. — you are looking towards being an entrepreneur.

Let’s focus on understanding the qualities of an entrepreneur to understand the context better.

Qualities of an Entrepreneur

1. Creativity
2. Professionalism
3. Risk-taking
4. Passion
5. Planning
6. Knowledge
7. Social Skills
8. Open-mindedness towards learning
9. Empathy
10. The customer is everything.

Then you have to question how many qualities kids have. Please don’t say they are not professional, lol. Professionalism is something we designed.

I have a question for you. What do you think is the dominant quality of an entrepreneur?

It is nothing but being open-minded.

I have another question. Are kids open-minded? Yes, they are.

And if a person is open-minded, they can get the remaining qualities.

You might ask me, do entrepreneurs only have those qualities?

I am not saying that. — If you have those qualities, it means you have the qualities of an entrepreneur.

Let’s, now, go to our main question.

Can someone be born to be something in life?

By now, you must have understood that everyone is born an entrepreneur. However, very few ends up being entrepreneurs, and the majority opt for being an employee.

Why do you think it happens?

Let’s understand it in the next section.

The Majority is Born an Entrepreneur, Brought up an Employee

During childhood, you haven’t restricted yourself to a specific set of thinking patterns. You are so creative. Everything is possible for you. (you think). You are so excited and did everything with utmost passion.

However, as you grow, you start people saying certain things are not possible. And your mindset is made up of the situations you face, people you surround. So, you start buying those facts and confine yourself to particular thinking patterns.

One of the biggest lies people hear is, being an employee is the safest option. Nothing is safe in life. You will be safe only till your employer feels you are valuable to the company. And if it changes, you are no longer safe if you are an employee.

So, being an employee gives a mythical sense of security.

And due to the situations you face, you end up being who you are thinking, that the other is not possible.

However, if you have the qualities of an entrepreneur, you can also be an employee if you choose to be one.

So, there is no such thing as you can’t be something. — Because you become what you believe.
