How to Know if You’re an Entrepreneur


Listen Later

It seems like more and more people want to become entrepreneurs or business owners, but what does it actually mean to be an entrepreneur, and is it different from being a small business owner? We point out these distinctions and make cases for what makes an entrepreneur vs. what makes a small business owner.

We offer some personal experiences that we feel point out the differences between being an entrepreneur and being a small business owner, arguing, for example, that an entrepreneur isn’t just interested in expanding sales but is also interested in expanding their enterprise. Entrepreneurs also tend to be bigger risk-takers when it comes to money and don’t like the idea of a 9-5 grind.

These are just a few examples of the many distinctions that we point out on the podcast, and we really hope that this is helpful!
