So what exactly is an entrepreneur
"An entrepreneur sees an opportunity
which others do not fully recognise, to
meet an unsatisfied demand or to
radically improve the performance of an
existing business. They have
unquenchable self-belief that this
opportunity can be made real through
hard work, commitment and the
adaptability to learn the lessons of the
market along the way”
