[Poll] Can Video Games Be A Training Ground for Entrepreneurs?

[domular]

I have a theory...

That games (especially first person shooter games) are a good training ground for biz skills.

There are several things I about games that I believe help develop skills that lend themselves to Entrepreneurs:

- They teach you to think out of the box. In my experience the obvious route in games is seldom the correct one. Only by looking at problems sideways can you see the real solution.

- They teach you that failing is not that big a deal. No one like to fail but if you are going to win the game you have to figure out what doesn't work. When you "fail" you've just learned how not to do something and it's time to try something else.

- It teaches focus. If you've ever played many games undoubtedly you've played one that has so captured your imagination that even when not playing it your brain keeps bouncing back with possible new ways to approach a problem

So that's my theory - that being said the down side to games is They produce nothing meaningful. While I believe games can teach lessons they are also a huge time sink that results in nothing lasting which is why I haven't become involved with any games in years. My new game is online biz and I keep score with $$$s.

So what do you think - can games make you a better Entrepreneur?
