I happen to agree with this article. Others may not. I would say that the same is true for investors; that they are born, not taught. Best regards.

"Entrepreneurship education is an oxymoron. You can’t teach something so rooted in personality. However, material support and encouragement for entrepreneurship is fundamental. Our laws, institutions, and community must help maximize the chances of success for our entrepreneurs, but we need to stop spending time and resources believing that everyone needs to be—or even can be—converted to the church of entrepreneurship."
