What does entrepreneur/entrepreneurship mean to you?
To me, entrepreneur is who has the ability to discover and create, while bearing the risk of earning a non-fixed income.
Let me know your thoughts!

@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.
Someone who creates new streams of business value that is disconnected from existing revenue generation
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.
@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.
Selling. An entrepreneur is a person who is selling something. If he is not selling something he is not an entrepreneur.
@dsarkar Even though I believe that an entrepreneur encompasses a variety of actions, selling is essential for the survival of an entrepreneur!
It means living your Dharma: Doing something you like, that you are good at, that is of value to others.
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.
Entrepreneurship, for me, is to build something that can contribute and push the industry forward. That's why we create Alphabag Deck that has a vision of building the common language for the making world.

@honkevin According to Kizner, entrepreneurship is: "The job of correcting misallocations by specializing in the discovery of missed opportunity.".
Entrepreneur - is Dreamer! It is a person who can imagine and make impossible - possible. Who can afraid, but do it, again again again. Do it even nobody believe.
When I was an employee, my individual values were hidden under a paycheck. Entrepreneurship is the journey to expose and exhibit individual values.
Some of my values:
True customer centricity - no dark patterns, open to solving customer problem etc.
Culture - as a company, team build a culture and helps in establishing a successful and profitable business.
Innovation - Constantly bring newer solutions and products to solve customers problem everyday
Wealth - Create wealth for self and people that help you in your entrepreneurship journey
Integrity - Do it right and all the time
"Pursuit of opportunities with resources out of your control" - Howard H. Stevenson
For me this encompasses the entrepreneurial mindset, it is finding the short window of opportunity and trying to get it with resources that are not within your control.
For me, an entrepreneur means a person who has the ability to discover and identify some kind of business opportunity and who organizes a series of resources to start a business project. An entrepreneur is characterized by his or her creativity, leadership, adaptation, perseverance, passion and self-confidence. An entrepreneur is not the same as a businessman or businesswoman, who is the one who directs and manages an already established company. An entrepreneur can improve or destabilize the markets with his or her products or services.🚀
According to me Entrepreneurship is a journey to find your best deep roots of your mind. Creating Value to the society by solving through our skills.
Every entrepreneur will have their own concepts of growing their brand or company apart from earning the most an entrepreneur will look forward to engage with his customers gets feedback and create according to it
@dhilish_krishna entrepreneurship varies depending on the person. Customer engagement is a huge part of a company's success.
a finding out of the best way to reach a desired result or a correct solution by trying out one or more ways or means and by noting and eliminating errors or causes of failure
@intoxication very interesting perspective.
I recently came across a quote of Elon Musk:
" Outcomes are usually not deterministic, they’re probabilistic. But we don’t think that way. The popular definition of insanity—doing the same thing over and over & expecting a different result— that’s only true in a highly deterministic situation. If you have a probabilistic situation, which most situations are, then if you do the same thing twice, it can be quite reasonable to expect a different result.".
Logically, I agree with your definition @pierre_kraus but for me I guess it's a means of Existence, if not anything more. For me it's about raising yourself as a bold changemaker, searching your place and where you belong with all you can do, not knowing what that stands for in the big big world. And then you discover the world and find out they named you already: "Entrepreneur" 😄
@indothopian Yes! "Being authentic and courageous", very true. You need authenticity to build genuine relationship with your team & users and courage to face situations outside of your comfort zone, as well as keep on going even though you might not always see progress in your journey.
