Entrepreneurs are self employed people. Individuals who are multi-talented excelling at various levels prove to be a successful entrepreneur. As a result, entrepreneurs tend to be more balanced individuals. Students, who fetch uniform scores throughout their curriculum, tend to become executives working for top notch companies, as they specialize in one area and their career revolves around it only.

Whereas an entrepreneur has a perfect mix of everything. The point is that entrepreneurs are balanced individuals. They must be endowed with equal competencies in different areas.

The fact that a perfect blend of talents is mandatory to be an entrepreneur, it gets difficult for someone who lacks somewhere. If an individual is highly creative, but lacks in some of the business skills (like, leadership, controlling, directing), then his chances to be a successful entrepreneur are remote. Thus, it would be a wise proposition, for him, to be managed by others.

The production process also decides whether a person can be an entrepreneur or not. If the process is complex, it will limit the chances, as a variety of competencies would be required rather than one special talent. Unlike the olden days, entrepreneurs of today belong to a different breed, they are competent technicians; they must understand how to create a worldwide business.

However, there is always a monetary factor, which reduces the supply of entrepreneurs. An individual will not choose an occupation unless the income is higher there than in the other occupation. Individuals who become entrepreneurs should have a more balanced investment strategy on average than those who end up specializing and working for others. A salaried person separates his earnings and investments.

They first calculate their earnings, and if they get a surplus then only they invest it. But for an entrepreneur, his earning and investment means the same. He invests his salary along with the physical capital. During few initial months, he doesn’t even mind ignoring his salary and further invests it in the business. It involves a certain degree of risk and good financial status. It is therefore seen, entrepreneurs are mainly people from upper middle class or people with high disposable income.

In today’s age, when there a just a few entrepreneurs; entrepreneurship should be highly encouraged by making people equipped with right set of knowledge as well risk bearing attitude.
