Got this from a book written to depict the life of Mr. John Gokongwei.
Two kinds of geniuses: (1) the ordinary, and (2) the magician.
An ordinary genius is a fellow that you and I could be just as good as, if we were only many times better. There is no mystery as to how mind works. Once we understand what they have done, we feel certain, that we, too, could have done it…
On the other hand, when a genius is magician, even if we understand what they have done, the process by which they have done it is completely dark..and incomprehensible…
There is nothing mysterious in what entrepreneurs do that anybody can replicate what they do and that developing individuals to become entrepreneurs can be done, thus, Entrepreneurial genius belongs to the ordinary “genius” type and not of the “magician”.
The management school of thought on entrepreneurship states that entrepreneurs can be TRAINED & DEVELOPED. The thought process, the patterns of decision making of entrepreneurs can be captured, codified then replicated. There is no magic in it.
The only key here is to train and develop “YOU” to be one of an entrepreneur.
