To me, entrepreneur is who has the ability to discover and create, while bearing the risk of earning a non-fixed income.

@sandeep_virk The vision is key to achieve your goals and give your team members a purpose.

Pretty much this
Selling. An entrepreneur is a person who is selling something. If he is not selling something he is not an entrepreneur.
Product Hunt
Someone who creates new streams of business value that is disconnected from existing revenue generation
@product_at_producthunt Yes! identifying missed opportunities to create value and growth.
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 I like that definition, particularly the focus on being independent with respect to other people/employers.
@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!

Pretty good question, Pierre. ๐ช๐
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.

@pierre_kraus Totally!

@aleksandra_vukovic Yeah, agreed, Aleksandra;) But thatโs my own feeling of entrepreneurship)
@shashcoffe that's legit :)
btw, good luck with your entrepreneurial journey!
Being an agent of change, being authentic and courageous, being a risk taker
@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.

An entrepreneur is a perseverant, optimistic problem solver.
@dotvignesh Being optimistic is very important to face the challenges along the way and keep moving forward.

Pierre,
To your quote I would add also "bearing the risk of failing"
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.๐
Entrepreneurs are optimistic problem-solvers who see and seize opportunities.

Itโs a journey of following my heart.
@yusuke2424 I agree, very poetic!
building something new
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.
@kaushik_ch I like your definition!

It means living your Dharma: Doing something you like, that you are good at, that is of value to others.
@dillon_peterson I have never heard the term "Dharma" before but I like the meaning of it!
WORK WORK WORK WORK AND MORE WORK
@schar_donald ahah that's what it takes!
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.
