Answer
There has been people like William Durant, Henry Ford and Dhirubhai Ambani, who have not had a formal education and yet have been successful entrepreneurs. Still there are a number of evidences that substantiate that education facilitates a greater sense of enterprise in people. Education helps individuals to manage things better by improving their emotional and skill quotient. So, poor performance in education is not related to greater sense of enterprising.
