According to a new national survey conducted by Northeastern University's School of Technological Entrepreneurship (STE), sixty-two percent of entrepreneurs in the U.S. claim "innate drive" is the number one motivator in starting their own venture. The survey, comprised of more than 200 U.S. based entrepreneurs, was designed to help answer the long-debated question of whether entrepreneurs are born, or bred through work experiences, education or other factors. Of note, only one percent of entrepreneurs surveyed identify "higher education" as the primary motivator for starting a business. Other motivators given were work experience (21 percent) and the success of entrepreneurial peers within the industry (16 percent). To view complete results, visit: http://www.ste.neu.edu/news.html
