How many of your friends are entrepreneurs?

[bond]

For the purpose of this discussion, let's say friends that you can actually shake hands with and people that you see on a regular basis.

For me, I say maybe 6 out of all the people that I know. That includes my parents, these two guys are who twins, my business partner, and another friend that I used to work with that has now gone full time making money on the internet.

What about you?

[Alscott]

None. Most kids my age are not smart enough to invest in their future and rather spend all their money on clothes and going out.

[bobbyp]

None.

However, have met quite a lot of friends through being an entrepreneur/online forums and would class them as friends

[Curtis]

Hmm, only one really. He owns a skate shop and is a great guy who does a lot for the community, have known him for many years.

An old high school buddy of mine temporarily had a shop downtown where my hometown is, but it failed pretty quick. (Granted, my hometown is old/historic/not a good place to have a store)

[SophieM]

None, they just have no interest in it. They'd prefer to go out/shopping, which is good, because it means that when I need a distraction, it isn't hard to find someone to do something with.

[DaleB]

Absolutely None.

[Starog]

None. But as a few have said, I have made friends because of my interest in business

[MXrider13]

None for me either, none of my friends are interested

[cecBUSINESS]

Erm, none REAAALLY. None interested enough to get themselves a head start.

I have possibly one. He definitely has a lot of good ideas and thinks entrepreneurially, but doesn't usually follow through with his ideas, and if he does they don't last long. But I guess that's how a lot of us are at this age. I know personally, I've only followed through with one (maybe two) projects, and even that didn't last long.
