Nobody is born an entrepreneur. I am not aware that anyone has discovered a gene that particularly makes a person a successful entrepreneur. But years of being an entrepreneur and understanding the life lessons of many successful entrepreneurs has brought me to the conclusion that there are certain behavioral DNAs that contribute to one’s success in business. In the first part of this article, I mentioned a couple of them — hard work and a risk-taking attitude.

Rising inflation this year has been the nemesis of Filipino consumers. Spending habits can drastically change when prices of certain goods or services spike at a short notice.

The simple answer is yes. There is no law that says one person or a class of people can’t be entrepreneurs. Essentially, if you want to go into business you should be able to. But is entrepreneurship for everyone? Sure there are no legal barriers if you decide to plunge into the world of entrepreneurship, but should you? Is everyone equipped to become an entrepreneur? These questions are more complicated and therefore deserve a more nuanced answer rather than a simple yes or no reply.
