I actually disagree with a couple points there. I think it's not true that entrepreneurs are "born". I come from a culture (middle-class India) where entrepreneurship is so unthinkable, it's almost a taboo. And yet, I think I am very much passionate about being a startup founder now. Paul's essays have been a big help in making me re-think quite a few things about life. So, I'd say that people can learn to be entrepreneurs as well. Magnet for money, attention: I don't think these are the primary qualities to focus on. They are usually a by-product of intense passion for the product and good taste / judgement.
