We hear the word “entrepreneur” a lot, but there is a lot of confusion on what it means. Are self-employed people entrepreneurs? Can you be a part of an MLM (multi-level marketing business) and be an entrepreneur? What is entrepreneurship and what’s at its core? The amazing hosts Airial Re’nal and Scott Doucet dive deep.

 

Scott’s Definition: An entrepreneur is a business owner or someone who is working toward that.

Airial’s definition: An entrepreneur is someone who finds a missing link in services and comes up with an idea to fill that gap.

 

Our hosts share stories about themselves and their peers displaying the entrepreneurial spirit. They discuss some universal characteristics found in entrepreneurs and how they differ from others or the wantrepreneur. They discuss how entrepreneurs and business owners have the ability to step away and everything still gets done.

 

Characteristics:

• Drive
• Committment
• Persistence
• Diligence
• Tenacity
• Faith
• Appreciation
