I couldn't agree more. A fair number of the entrepreneurs I know have some sort of background in the arts. I was/am a musician and participated in the high school marching band. This was, strangely enough, a "cool" activity at our high school, where our band was openly appreciated by our sports coaches and student body. I regularly reflect on the experiences I gained in marching band when looking at my entrepreneurial efforts. Mastery, confidence, leadership, discipline, teamwork... The list of attributes developed when taking part in a performing art is long and strongly correlated with those required to succeed in just about any setting.
