Lack Entrepreneurial Talent? Take A Pill!

By on March 5, 2009 in Ideas


If you believe that every successful entrepreneur is wired for business, you might be right. Based on the entrepreneurial ability to tolerate risk and their cognitive flexibility, scientists at Cambridge University believe it might be possible to create a pill that will stimulate entrepreneurial qualities in the average person.

So you want to be an entrepreneur? Today the first step is a solid business plan. Tomorrow it could be a bottle of pills. Cambridge University scientists made headlines last November by suggesting that an “entrepreneur drug” might someday replicate the brain chemistry seen in successful small business owners.

    Whoever makes and markets the drug will be the real entrepreneurs.

    I agree with John, the maker of the pill will actually be the true entrepreneur originally. but also…what is this world coming to when you will be able to take a pill to give you entrepreneur traits? i mean…it’s a great idea for those who do not have those qualities in them…but at the same time…it seem’s there is a pill for ANYTHING these day’s. and if they don’t have those traits already in them…maybe they just simply are not meant to be a business owner, maybe they are meant for something else in life.

    Jaclyn — I have to agree with you there. It amazes me what can come in pill form.

    Could you imagine if everyone wanted to become an entrepreneur? We’d have too many businesses and not enough people to employ.
