The concept of entrepreneurshipThe entrepreneur is our visionary, the creator in each of us. We are born with this quality and it defines our lives as we respond to what we see, hear, feel and experience. It is developed, nourished, and given space to flourish or is stifled, thwarted, without air or stimulation, and dies.
