Attitude Vs Aptitude
2008 October 27 2008 
Entrepreneur born or made? A question more than usual lately. I now ask you, is enterprising skills or attitude? or to succeed with a emprendemiento, of which we shall have more in the balance?
CQC Looking for a couple of weeks, I asked people from the rock environment, if you were a rock star for attitude or aptitude. I must say that I believe are needed both, and what's more, we can see how some people possess both (Charly Garcia, Maradona for example), but you can usually see if fitness prevails (say Cristian Castro, once my ex took me to see, has an incredible voice, but not asked to pitch) or attitude ( Sandro is the Argentine example, that without a great voice, an achievement to be number one in Latin America with an overbearing attitude).
From my point of view, take the way we know, in which one person, two or a small group aims to create something from nothing, a great company, great product, or something that the rest is inaccessible, or involves a fee if more attitude than aptitude. Because to undertake large-scale need not be a specialist in the subjects concerning the venture, or be a great economist (even without knowing it is a business plan could be achieved if investing millions) . What is needed is punchy , push, energy, dissatisfaction with the existing, and passion to see something which does not exist or does not seem possible and convince others that this is the best thing to happen.
Someone may have skills to do a startup, because it was at a college where they really formed with everything you need and maybe his father was an entrepreneur, giving all his advice, but I tell you to do something really amazing must have entrepreneurial attitude the heart. My in particular is the only thing that gives me a happiness that is almost similar to that felt with love, more than once. That feeling in the chest is unique and that this entrepreneurial attitude or future entrepreneur by reading this, you will be agree with me.
I believe that entrepreneurship is that the key is to awaken these attitudes, or those who already have these attitudes, it has to work more to increase their skills. But what I consider fundamental to awaken these attitudes is to show that you can. That one of the missions and mine blog. Thank you very much for sharing this with me at all.
I leave an aggregate via @ alguiendeperico , the truth in a phrase that summed up what quico around the post. Thanks
The barrier to fitness is never someone with attitude
Joaquin, the attitude no doubt.
Winston Churchill is another example, was super mediocre but had a great attitude. It even has its phrase: "Attitudes are more important than skills."
Greetings!
I agree with you, I find that to be more prevalent entrepreneurial attitude, although fitness is also important. I think in this respect that we all have skills or abilities more or less developed and we do not know or not know to improve learning. Sometimes, even use them. What matters is that we all have SKILLS and we put them into action attitudes. It is useless to have skills and not use them. Similarly, although the skills are not well developed, with attitude CAN equilibar these shortcomings.
I quite agree with everything you say, but ... You went to see Cristian Castro? Nahh ... ....
@ Fede believe that attitudes are what make the difference
@ Adrian accurate, I think knowing that you can shoot many attitudes
@ Cristian I got my ex, took care of all expenses including, up to kill me because I was killing the chaboncito singing, screaming all the luna park and I sleep! lol
Thanks for the feedback, enriching and fun.

I think you like the attitude, ambition and passion is what really moves a person. And to take almost say it is the main requirement. As for fitness, is also required some attitude. That is, one must understand how competitive the world is today, and how necessary it is improved as much as possible in order to be in the race. And this is much more than a degree and an MBA, this is a hunger for knowledge, or rather, an attitude. Day to day.
I commented that I am delighted to see a very interesting blog, similar themes to those who want to convey, in one so young. It is precisely in the age where I think we went missing Argentine entrepreneurs compared to countries like United States, and see you in 22 years to address these issues that I consider so important, is a stimulus. I hope to maintain contact.

Hi Joaquin,
I see you follow in the search ...
I would change the question of whether the entrepreneur is born or made, on the other.
What do you want to be an entrepreneur?
Why do things get?
For a person to have entrepreneurial skills and attitudes needed to have a strong motivation from his being.
Who is the entrepreneur, then?
For me, and from the interpretation of Ontological Coaching, Being that we are at any time and from where we see the world, who leads the entrepreneur.
When I Coaching with kids your age about 25 years (I have 41 years now) and I make this question are considering the possibility of entrepreneurs today ...
What do you need to be an entrepreneur?
To be an entrepreneur needs nothing. Physical nothing makes you an entrepreneur. Just be your own statement and open the door to the unknown, to what you still need to learn, ie the right end, to be part of an NGO, write your own blog, make your network of contacts, etc..
TODAY you can be the entrepreneur you want to be, but you lack attitude and aptitude. Whenever you target your sails towards that goal and believe that is possible.
Embrace,
Marcelo
@ Marcelo fully agree, when I was a bit lost I did not know what to do, where as, or did not know who wanted to be, went to talk to a person who helped me a lot ( which you would like to be "helped me answer the question more important, and in turn to be so clear that I want to be an entrepreneur, it helps me a lot easier to answer all other questions of my life because I have a clear pole.
I love to keep talking with you, glad you're over here.

Very good post Joaquín.
I believe that fitness can always make and remake when it has attitude. That is, fitness is the lock ever for someone with attitude.
The attitude to work as a spark to undertake. There are many people with a lot of skill, but little spark of attitude. Ideally, a balance between the two.
