The visionary aspects of an entrepreneur

Can Entrepreneurship be taught? Entrepreneurship is an experience, if you ask me. The basics of general business knowledge, general entrepreneurial principles, keeping alert to specific fields of opportunities can be passed down just like the basic management principles and strategic thinking in a typical MBA course. However, you can never claim yourself to be successful business manager with a MBA if you have not accumulated enough on-the job experience, just like you cannot be an entrepreneur if you have not been one.

Somethings that can't be taught is the act of being a visionary in an entrepreneur - the ability to understand and see niches in a market and recognize whether it will be successful. Not everyone can be a visionary. Sometimes, it takes guts and experience to believe in something that the majority is not able to see. So it takes this quality to make an entrepreneur.
