What is an Entrepreneur

Entrepreneurship is an aspect of business that I have never truly understood, and will keep on trying to figure out.

Perhaps it is the versatility of entrepreneurs that makes the concept difficult to grasp, because the images that appear in my mind can vary from Donald Trump’s blonde toupee, to the Monopoly character that looks awfully similar to the Pringles man.

My good friend once told me that entrepreneurs are people that earns money by organizing people to make the best out of their talents.  What I had gotten out of our conversation  (perhaps also due to my natural tendency to exaggerate), was that an entrepreneur will be a shark, a sweet-talker, a charming-your-pants-off type of man with a killer haircut and legitimate-enough suit, that you cannot quite define their profession.

I find entrepreneurs share these similar qualities of charisma and ambition for success which are mostly personality traits, rather than skills learned off the textbook.

Most importantly, they are willing to take risks.
