Do you Consider Yourself an Entrepreneur?

The online dictionaries describe an entrepreneur as “a person who starts a business and is willing to risk loss in order to make money” or “one who organizes, manages, and assumes the risks of a business or enterprise.”

If you want to be a successful entrepreneur start out with a customer problem and find or develop a product that solves it. Entrepreneurs are those who identify a need and fill it.

Here are some qualities of entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs step into their power through the choices they are drawn to make. They are values driven and have learned to think differently.
