Who is an Entrepreneur?

An entrepreneur is a person who makes money by starting or running businesses, especially when this involves taking financial risks. The above statement is according to google. But in reality, an entrepreneur solves a particular real-world problem through an innovative solution. The best example I would like to quote is swiggy. In this fast-running world, people miss their favorite food from their favorite restaurants. To solve this food delivery application was introduced by Swiggy. Now people can order their favorite food and enjoy them sitting in the home. 

How to become an entrepreneur?

The next question you will get is how to become an entrepreneur. To begin the search for a challenging problem that you wanted to solve. Choose your obstacle wisely. Analyze them deeply. As I have already said, the problem statement makes you king. Then break your question into smaller pieces to find the core of the problem. Plan an innovative solution to solve the maze.

In the beginning, you might face many issues that don’t mean you can never do it. Be focused and planned to reach your goal.

Myths about entrepreneurs.

1.They don’t have stipulated time to work.

This is absurd. Entrepreneurs work at the max to develop their products and extend their wings across the globe. 

2.Entrepreneurs are their own boss.

Nobody is their own boss. Everyone has someone they report to.

Someday you will be an entrepreneur If you are running a consulting business, your clients are your boss. If your startup gets funded, your investors become your boss. So much for the no-boss paradise.

3. So much for the no-boss paradise.

Entrepreneurship is really hard, almost unbearably so at times.

The ups and downs of entrepreneurship parallel the ups and downs of ordinary life. There are good times. And there are the bad times.

The difference with entrepreneurship is that the bad times are a lot worse, and the good times are a lot better.

But fun all the time? No.
