Entrepreneur?

Language is dynamic and interpretive, and when Government representatives and other prominent people speak and the media reports, such usage filters throughout a society. Describing people that simply set out to be paid, as Entrepreneurs and having the Entrepreneurial spirit belittles the title.

Entrepreneurship cannot be taught or forced, it is not a career path, it is not widespread, it refers to a portion of an individual’s life, in which a unique vision of a life changing solution, that can benefit societies, is formed. Moving such an idea forward requires adequate capital for research and development and more importantly, sound management. Such investment, in both tangible and intangible assets, and skilled and experienced human resources, is considered as high risk and promises high returns, but must also take into consideration a very high failure rate. This label should only apply to persons whose ideas have successfully improved lifestyles.
