Who is an entrepreneur?
An entrepreneur is an individual who organizes and operates a business or enterprise, taking on the financial risks to do so.
That may sound simple, but let’s take a closer look…
One of the most important things that entrepreneurship provides is employment. The unemployment rate has been at historic levels but recently there has been job growth. We feel that a big part of that job growth is due to the rate of starting small businesses. Entrepreneurs create fresh small and large-scale employment opportunities; as the business grows so do the number of employees. Entrepreneurs significantly reduce the problem of unemployment.
Entrepreneurs have changed the way we live, the way we do things. Their innovations have made life easier and increased the standard of living. Most entrepreneurs start their businesses because they wanted to do something they love, or were inspired by an idea they truly believe in. The positive effects of working in an environment that’s important to you paves the way for innovations and advances in technology that increase economic development for our country. And on a much larger scale, when production of these good spreads worldwide, they make us competitors in the global economy.
Entrepreneurship is often called “economic gardening.” It’s a foundation that can continue to grow and year after year provide wealth to a community. Local communities benefit greatly from small businesses by tapping into existing assets and strengthening it socially and economically. On the whole, entrepreneurship has the potential to increase the wealth of communities.
