Who is an entrepreneur???
 Entrepreneurship is defined as the process of making money,
earning profits and increasing the wealth while posing
characteristics such as risk taking, management, leadership
and innovation. The term entrepreneurship is a complicated
term and gives various meaning depending on the situation.
 The word entrepreneur has a French origin. It originated
during the Middle Ages when the term entrepreneur was
applied to “the man in charge of the great architectural works:
castles and fortifications, public buildings, abbeys and cathedrals”.
It is derived from the French word, entreprendre, which
means “to undertake.” In a business context, it means to
undertake a business activity or simply to start a business.
The Merriamtebster Dictionary defines an entrepreneur as
‘one who organizes, manages, and assumes the risks of a
business or enterprise’.
