Entrepreneur
Someone who builds a product or service to solve a real problem and tries to make it pay for itself and grow.
Example
Your neighbour notices nobody on her street walks dogs during the school day. She offers a $5 lunchtime walk service, posts a flyer, and three families sign up. She just acted like an entrepreneur, even before calling herself one.
How it fits in
Entrepreneurship is less about a personality type than about a posture. Notice problems worth solving, test whether anyone else cares, and be willing to look stupid for a while. Entrepreneurs come in every shape: solo founders, family-business owners, social entrepreneurs, and intrapreneurs inside large organisations. The starting move is the same in every case.
