Make a Graphic Organizer

Interview two entrepreneurs over the phone, the Internet, or in person. Ask them to describe the personal characteristics needed to start up and run a business. Make a Venn diagram that shows the characteristics. In the center of the diagram, put the characteristics both entrepreneurs mentioned. Use the left and right sides of the diagram to list the characteristics the entrepreneurs do not have in common. Beneath the Venn diagram, make a list of the characteristics you have in common with the entrepreneurs.
