Entrepreneurship is on the rise with many business graduates opting to start their own business over corporate life in an established firm.<\/p>\n

Personally, I believe graduates would be much better off getting at least 5 years experience in a corporate environment where they can make all the mistakes they like at someone else’s expense. \u00a0Evenings and weekends can be used to conduct market research for a new idea.<\/p>\n

We’ve all been bored with answers to the question “Are entrepreneurs born or made?” \u00a0And, we’ve all probably sat through tedious responses from ‘experts’ which are based on small samples and very little scientific research.<\/p>\n

But is there a set of personality traits or a magic formula that produces entrepreneurs, or what type of person is most likely to become an entrepreneur?<\/p>\n
