Can You Learn How to be an Entrepreneur?

I’ve always felt that being an entrepreneur was something that you were born with. That’s probably because I came from a family of employees. Everybody in my immediate family worked for someone else. No one had their own business.

But then something strange happened to me within the last year - I started-up 3 different businesses with friends. Businesses that are in the infant stage, but they’re moving forward.

This feeling that I could be an entrepreneur began during my 3 days in the amazing Millionaire Mind Intensive last May 10-12. Something inside of me just lit up. I’ve always wanted my own businesses, but I was too scared to really try.

Now, I’m not just trying, I’m DOING.

But during the last year, I always wondered what would’ve happened to me if I could’ve taken an Entrepreneur class in college 30 years ago. Well, according to a story by Glenn Rifkin on today’s NYTimes.com, over 2,000 colleges now offer classes in Entrepreneurship.

This piece talks about a group of students from Monmouth University in NJ who started up a business called Nanina’s Gourmet Pasta Sauce. It’s a pretty inspiring piece. Take a look at it and let us know if you think that people can be taught how to be entrepreneurs.
