So you want to be a Business Entrepreneur?
It is said that being an entrepreneur is different from being a businessman or businesswoman. Both are in the business (pardon the pun here) of making money right? Yes but the differences lie in the way of doing the business. We called someone an entrepreneur when he initiates, conceptualize and materialize a business process which is entirely unique ( Source: http://ezinearticles.com/?Difference-Between-an-Entrepreneur-and-Business-Man&id=1592570). In other words, he or she comes out with a refreshing idea or ideas to do business in a revolutionary way.
A businessman or businesswoman on the other hand, starts the business on existing platforms initiated by previous entrepreneurs. In short, an entrepreneur is a leader while a business is a follower.
