When you stated that if you want to be a good entrepreneur, you need to have a plan and a vision which I agree because without a plan and vision, you won’t be able to succeed and have a good business. You also need to overcome obstacles and challenges if you want to be a good entrepreneur.

It helped her work ethic a lot because she just knew how to be a great leader. She didn’t come from money like the other two so it makes me happy that she had a great outcome.

I like how you argued both sides of the question: Are leaders born or made? You went into alot of depth like mentioning points about a certain home environment at a young age and how it can effect your ability to become a leader. I agree with you that it can be a combination of both.
