When I hear the word Entrepreneur, I visualize a self-made, self-starter business owner that likes to get involved in different kinds of business ventures and can be very successful. I think of this person as having a lot of gusto and smarts.

It told me that I am not a natural entrepreneur, but I could become one. I like security and knowing that someone else is having to make the tough decisions and I am not risking my own personal or family’s life. On the flip of that though, I do like to have a say and be heard when there are decisions to be
