What exactly is an entrepreneur?

One of my favorite Bushisms is “The French don’t have a word for Entrepreneur.”

(And if you can’t figure out why that’s funny, we’ve got a problem.)

But here in the good old US of A, we’ve got a couple of words for Entrepreneur. My favorite is “Risk taking badass.”

Because Entrepreneurs usually do their high flying trapeze act without a net.

If they succeed, it’s on their own hard work, gumption and ability to recognize an opportunity.

And if they fail. . . well, failure is just an opportunity in disguise.

Pat yourselves on the back, Bizniks. Whether you’re a one man massage machine trying to eke out a living or a big brained business monster trying to take over the world, you’re an entrepreneur. And you are badass.
