Week 2 Reading Reflection

I found the reading interesting, but one thing that I disagree with is myth 2: that entrepreneurs are born, not made.  It states that how to become an entrepreneur can be taught which may be true, but to me that doesn't mean that one can be made.  For instance, you can teach me how to be a wide receiver.  You can teach me how to read the defenses, catch the ball, technique in route running, but no matter how much I learn  I won't be out there Sunday playing.  It is because I do not have the physical ability to play professionally.  While you can learn how to be an entrepreneur you can't put the drive and determination that it requires in someone who doesn't already have it.  I think the biggest thing that stood out to me was the importance of entrepreneurship in the world right now.  It is compared to the Industrial Revolution, and I did not realize that it was such a major part of the world today.  I also think that this has opened my eyes a little more, because i notice entrepreneurs in my everyday life now that I never labeled that way before.  Something that I would ask the author is if he believes the advancement in technology makes it easier or harder to be successful at becoming an entrepreneur?  I would also ask why he became so interested in entrepreneurship, was it something specific in his life or just a subject he always found interesting?  I first question would be to see what his thoughts are on becoming a success today as related to earlier successful ventures.  The second question would be simply because I am curious why people do what they do.  There was not too much in this chapter that I found to be confusing.  This seemed more think learning background getting introduced to entrepreneurship.
