    In lesson 3, we examine the long debated question of whether entrepreneurs are born or taught. In other words, are entrepreneurs born with a certain set of skills or can they be created?  Academic research has focused on this topic for decades and people are still trying to make their own decisions about this important question. We at TheEntrepreneurSchool strongly believe that entrepreneurship can be taught. In fact, we've been teaching it for over a decade and have taught thousands of people how to become entrepreneurs.
