So I've always had mixed opinions on this particular subject throughout the years. Long story short, I grew up poor and always found ways to make money at a young age. Not many in my age group at the time did the same. Same went for middle school and high school. While I was in high school I was selling online (back in 1997) and worked at a shop that allowed me the opportunity to purchase many items and collections off people. I also started a cell phone accessory business (part time in a flea market) that did well.
Throughout those years I always had friends who wanted to get into business and make money as a teenager. They just never seem to get it. The time I invested into each medium meant money, but they could never digest and understand how it worked. After many hours I decided at a young age I would never try and help a friend to learn business. Most were lazy and wanted money quick, which is shocking because most worked at the local fast food places unless it was baseball season.
So... Do you really think someone can learn to be an entrepreneur, or is it something they learned at a young age or was born with?
I'm not talking about someone reading a book at age 23 and has an eye opening moment. I'm mainly talking about the ones who actually dive in and get down to business. They need contacts? They go and get that shit done. They need to find a distributor? Boom, contacted 20 of them today.
Who knows. In the end maybe I'm just trying to get down to that little vein that maybe every entrepreneur might possess in their body. It's just something that's always been in them..
