People choose their behavior. You can be born with gifts and choose not to use them.
I do not deny that practice makes perfect, but the amount practice benefits the individual is largely due to the genes that power them. All things being equal, the one with successful entrepreneurial parents will be more successful than one without entrepreneurial parents.
That does not mean that someone without entrepreneurial parents cannot be a successful entrepreneur. The behavior is a choice. Someone with the inherited traits that may make them a successful entrepreneur may choose to be basketball player or doctor or computer scientist or mow lawns or clean houses.

The kids of drunks and lowlifes score and the ones from 'well to do' families are doing drugs and pissing away their lives. Not all of them, of course, but a good portion at least.
- fnid 17y agoA very high percentage of kids tend to revolt against parents by choosing paths in life that are the opposite of theirs. I don't see how what you are saying there is at all reasonable. These are kids. They aren't adults and haven't had the opportunity to be successful or fail yet.
