An entrepreneur is someone who's excited about creating a business and works hard to turn that goal into reality. Entrepreneurs start and run businesses that sell products (such as clothes or software) or services (such as a restaurant or landscaping company), or sometimes a combination of products and services (like a bicycle shop or a hair salon).

Being an entrepreneur means lots of responsibility and risk . When a business does well, it can bring big rewards. On the other hand, when things don't go well, the business might lose money or have to close. Either way, entrepreneurs love the challenge of being responsible for developing a new business and being in charge of their own destiny.
