An entrepreneur is a person who takes a risk to create a new product or develops a better way to operate a business. Risks are one of the main incentives when trying to “make it big” in the business world. Entrepreneurs are unique individuals who are creative, opportunity seekers, and people who are willing to take a risk when the possibility of profit is at hand. When an entrepreneur perceives that the incentives outweigh the risk, they are willing to move forward and act on their idea. Entrepreneurs are agents of change and the stimulus for economic growth. Entrepreneurs are creative and individualistic. They are thinkers who take their ideas and transform them into goods and services. Entrepreneurs are enterprising individuals who see opportunities and take risks in hopes of earning profits. When entrepreneurs take a risk and their enterprise is rewarded, new goods and services are developed that raise the standard of living for everyone.
