Introduction:
An entrepreneur is a person who organizes a venture
to benefit from an opportunity, rather than working as
an employee. Entrepreneurs play a key role in
any economy. These are the people who have the skills
and initiative necessary to anticipate current and future
needs and bring good new ideas to market.
Entrepreneurs who prove to be successful in taking
on the risks of a start-up are rewarded with profits, fame
and continued growth opportunities. Those who fail
suffer losses and become less important in the markets.
Many fail, lose money, and close the business.

An entrepreneur is an individual who creates a new
business, bearing most of the risks and enjoying most of the

Characteristics of Entrepreneurship
1.Profit Chances
The chances of profit are the level of return to the person who is taking risks
and developing an idea into its business venture. The actions of the
entrepreneurs will likely remain abstract and a paper leisure activity without
the potential of the profit.
2.Creativity and Persuasiveness
There is a need to have the creative capacity for recognizing and pursuing
the opportunities in a successful entrepreneurship. The entrepreneurs should
possess great selling skills and be persistent
3.Innovation
The entrepreneurship continuously demands a continuous search for
innovative ideas. The entrepreneur should evaluate the present modes of
business operations for developing more efficient and effective systems. In a
simple definition, it is a continuous effort for optimization of performance in
an organization.
4.Risk Bearing
As we defined above, the entrepreneurship is the willingness to take
risks. The individuals should arise out of the implementation and creation
of the creative ideas. They should believe that new ideas take some time to
offer results and their results may not be instantaneous.
5.Vision
Probably, one of the biggest responsibilities of the entrepreneur is to
decide the direction of the business. There is a need to have proper vision.
If a company doesn’t have this, they will likely get lost in the sea.
6.Excellent Business Skills
A successful entrepreneur always has the ability to set up the internal
procedures, systems, and processes required to operate a company.
He/she should focus on sales, revenue, and cash flow all the times. They
always evaluate the current talents and professional network.
