An entrepreneur, huh?

Someone who wears his (or her) balls outside the trousers.

A multiskilled, multitasking, minimal sleeper.

A salesperson, inventor, maker, doer, organiser, photocopier, tea-brewer, bank-sweet-talker.

Someone who makes money out of nothing at all.

An Entrepreneur = someone who grabs an oppertunity by the balls and makes the best of it.

someone who can identify an oppertunity in the market and create and grow a business to cater for these needs.

Grows a business under conditions of risk and uncertainty.

a good entrepeneur = someone with a good idea, a moderate amount of business skill, an inordinate amount of faith in their good idea and an outrageous amount of courage.

An entrepreneur is calculated risk taker, a believer in his/her dreams to be achievable no matter how long the journey takes. Is someone who accept things he/she can change, and accept things he/she can’t change.

Is a thick skin individual, a fighter, a soldier who will die with his/her boots on to give up on his/her dream. Works like a slave in order to live like a King, a leader who gets his/her hands dirty. He/She follows from behind a group of people but in times of trouble he takes the first bullet.
