According to the dictionary, entrepreneurship is the capacity and willingness to develop, organize and manage a business venture along with any of its risks in order to make a profit. The most obvious example of entrepreneurship is the starting of new businesses. Entrepreneurial spirit is characterized by innovation and risk-taking, and is an essential part of a nation’s ability to succeed in an ever changing and increasingly competitive global marketplace.
Entrepreneurship can be scary because there is no guarantee that the business will work, and the entrepreneur may end up losing money for the first few years. Not sure whether you are cut out for starting your own business? Don’t worry, you have company. Most people have dreamed about launching their own venture at some stage of their lives but the majority do not even take the first step. They are held back by a number of reasons. Some fear that if their business does not succeed, they could lose the investment they make. In many cases, that’s their entire life’s savings.
