An entrepreneur is, first and foremost, someone who is a self-starter and a risk-taker who has vision and drive to start something new that he thinks will benefit himself, his family and his community.
A business minded person is a leader. He is ready to take ownership of his own life, time and financial means. He is ready to become his own boss and assume all the hardships and responsibilities that come with it.
He is determined. He has decided that in spite of the fear and the risks, he is ready to start on his own. He has the necessary skills and enough experience on a certain area to start a business. And he wants to be able to profit from his own labor.
