Can You Teach Someone To Be An Entrepreneur?
Filed in archive Resources by Jim Logan on March 09, 2006

The article asks a simple question: Can entrepreneurship really be taught in a classroom? The answers are divided. I believe the answer is Yes, but it's the wrong question to ask.
The question that should be asked is Can you teach someone to be an entrepreneur? The answer is No.
There are a lot of skills you can teach would-be entrepreneurs, but you can't give the person what they need most: burning desire. Maybe people that enroll in entrepreneurship courses already have it. Maybe they're hoping to find it. But one thing's for sure, they can't learn it, buy it, borrow it, or steal it. They have it or they don't.
You can teach entrepreneurship, but you can't teach someone to be an entrepreneur.
