According to Kiki Ayers there are key traits natural born entrepreneurs have stemming from an early age.
Speaking from her own experience of working a 9-5 to her journey to entrepreneurship, Ayers makes the case that being an entrepreneur isn't something that be taught. Though there are skill sets you can learn through workshops, speaking engagements and courses, she argues that the determination, motivation and dedication is something you either have or you don't.

Before her success as an award winning journalist, entrepreneur and advocate, she ignored many signs that she wasn't meant to be an employee and through survival skills and taking a leap of faith she's now successful as a serial entrepreneur. Ayers Publicity
