Take the Entrepreneurship Test
Submitted by David Richter on Thu, 01/10/2008 - 11:01am.The following came from Guy Kawasaki's blog (http://blog.guykawasaki.com/2008/01/take-the-entrep.html):
Scott Shane of Case Western recently published The
Illusions of Entrepreneurship: The Costly Myths That Entrepreneurs, Investors,
and Policy Makers Live By. In the book, he bursts many of the
bubbles of entrepreneurship in America. Says he, “People start
businesses based on the myths we tell ourselves about entrepreneurship and then
are hurt when confronted by reality. Investors believe these myths and invest
money and they’re disappointed when they don’t hold true. Policy makers make
policy based on these myths and then wonder why the economy isn’t growing with
all these entrepreneurs now in it.” If you think you already really know the
scoop about entrepreneurship, try taking his test. If
you score less than 80%, maybe you should buy the book. I scored a whopping
40%.
