What Is an Entrepreneur?

Tuesday April 1, 2008

Lucretia M. Pruitt, aka GeekMommy, offered up on Twitter perhaps the best definition of an entrepreneur I've ever heard:

I'm not an entrepreneur. I'm one of those relatively useless idea persons - good only for the concept. Entrepreneurs make things happen.

Yes! Plenty of ideas out there…I think the right idea inspires the entrepreneur in all of us.

Aha!
Thanks for seeing exactly what I meant by that. I’ve been fortunate to meet a number of amazing entrepreneurs via Twitter – it’s one of those “aha! Now I know what sort of animal you are!” realizations. Especially as I know where my forte lies – and it’s in the stage before that.
