Each entrepreneur can have their own very different definition, but I'd say an entrepreneur is someone who decides not to follow the conventional path professionally and who don't directly let themselves depend on someone else. Their don't necessarily work on their own project but they are still in charge of organizing their work and everything that comes with it

@rubenwolff to me, this factor of independence was a reason for starting my own business.
Report
@rubenwolff@aleksandra_vukovic it is true that entrepreneur doesn't respond to a single definition depending on the person but going off the beaten track to seek independence seems to be a common denominator!

@rubenwolff I like that definition, particularly the focus on being independent with respect to other people/employers.
Pretty good question, Pierre. 💪🙂
To me, the entrepreneur is one who really wants to build a high-growth, high-intensity, high-risk startup and who want to push forward.
Who wants to raise venture capital, to hire a bunch of people, to just really go for it.
Whose goal is to take the company public and who is okay taking lots of risks along the way to get there.

@shashcoffe There are many entrepreneurs who are successful in their communities, providing jobs to people, without having high-risk, high-intensity startups.

@shashcoffe Thanks man!
Building, growing at high intensity while bearing all the risks define accurately entrepreneurship and it's also sometimes nerve wrecking ahah.
It's the beauty of it when you hire people that share a common vision with you about your product/company.
@aleksandra_vukovic Yeah, agreed, Aleksandra;) But that’s my own feeling of entrepreneurship)

@greta_zem Influencer personality might not be the best term to use but being able to build and grow a community requires to convince people to try and use your product or embrace your vision and follow your journey.

For me, entrepreneurship isn't just an opportunity to get rich. I've always believed that entrepreneurs are people who aren't afraid to take risks. Many people in financial trouble will never get out of it because they are afraid to invest in a new business. Such people think they are bound to lose. And believing in yourself, in your business, and the opportunity to earn more differentiates entrepreneurs from losers who are afraid of their own shadow! Of course, every entrepreneur who comes to the business makes mistakes and gets burned out on something, but he doesn't give up. I don't hesitate to ask procurement consultancy to financial consultants or ask questions about the law to lawyers. After all, this means that I have a great future.

Entrepreneurs are optimistic problem-solvers who see and seize opportunities.

It's an obsession and a lifestyle. When you have your idea you are finding reasons and confirmations to create it daily.

@dvoroneca Entrepreneurship definitely takes a different mindset. Growing your product takes a daily grind and constant self-questioning to move forward.
Report
A freedom to be creative and learn more about myself :)
Report
@marko_krcmar Agree! The limitless opportunities to create within the scope of the problem you're trying to solve is what makes it so exciting and challenging! And you also learn a ton about yourself especially when facing adversity.

@pierre_kraus 100%. Glad to see someone else also seeing that benefits (challenging for sure) of entrepreneurship
