1) Risk-taking, resilience, and intrinsic motivation matter more for entrepreneurs because they start and grow ventures under high uncertainty. They must take calculated risks, bounce back from frequent setbacks, and stay self-driven without steady paychecks or corporate structure.
2) Small businesses are vital because they create most new jobs, drive local economic activity, foster innovation, and supply niche goods and services that larger firms may ignore.
3) Henry Ford showed resilience by overcoming early failures and strategic thinking by pioneering the assembly line and the $5 workday to lower costs, raise productivity, and reduce turnover. Other examples: Steve Jobs (vision and persistence), Elon Musk (risk tolerance and long-term strategy), and Sara Blakely (persistence and creative pivots).
4) A business education gives practical tools (finance, accounting, marketing, operations, strategy, and legal basics) and frameworks for decision making. Also useful: mentorship, networking, real-world experience, writing a business plan, and iterative product testing.
5) Two traits:
- Persistence — keep improving and relaunching a product after early failures until it finds market fit.
- Adaptability — change pricing, distribution, or product features quickly when customer needs or markets shift.
