Building such characters of entrepreneurship can be inculcated and developed through the process of learning, both in family and school environments. The education of entrepreneurship can be implemented since early childhood through introductory phase, but by no means of making the children as executors.

The process of learning science is able to play a role in developing the character of entrepreneur through the application of grand design learning.
