Genetic Predisposition to Entrepreneurship

Could I have worded that title any better to make it more of a mouthful? Probably not. I did try though.

So are we predisposed genetically to being a business owner? It makes sense of course, as there are a lot of us that just have the need to do it ourselves, or we see ideas in many things that we believe will make money. While we don't all have the ability to get it done, a lot of people do have the mind that can conceive it.

Here is an in depth study that looks at the issue for any interested. It is a pretty good read. Much more interesting than my chore right now of finding some cheap car insurance. for my ride.

15 Years of Craigslist

Hard to believe that this site has been around this long. Man am I getting old. The internet has been around in mass use for so long now that I can't even comprehend it. Anyways, with 15 years under their belts selling everything from a life insurance policy, to women, to used mattresses to anyone and everyone who will buy them let's take a look at how they are doing.

The founder, Craig Newmark talks about how things have changed at the internet's oldest open marketplace--and how they haven't. I must admit that I have never trusted this site. Ever. The same way I don't trust anyone that puts stuff in the newspaper. I basically don't want to meet any of these people for the most part...lol
