Okay, I know this article looks like an ad for Intuit.

But I think it shows some interesting information. 27% of these people think they don't know enough about starting/running a business. (Insert entrepreneur development pitch here...)

While Oprah is a fine role model as the first African American female billionaire, Trump is another story. Yeah, okay, I watched some of the Apprentice too. People look up to a guy who gets to be the rude bully? Who is inspired by the worst combover in history?

Interesting who is not on the list. Not Bill Gates, Mr. Packard, Michael Dell, Richard Branson, etc.

America's idea of being an entrepreneur is Donald Trump?

Any red blooded American male can read between the lines on the Hugh Hefner reference.
