An entrepreneur is defined by Wikipedia as: a person who has possession of a new enterprise, venture or idea and assumes significant accountability for the inherent risks and the outcome. That should just about cover it right? Nope, that barely scratches the surface.

The entrepreneur job description goes much deeper than just assuming risks and taking on accountability. The entrepreneur is a rebel by definition as well. They go against the grain and strike out on their own. But they aren't reckless bandits roving the countryside looking to make their next big score. There are a few traits that most entrepreneurs have in common.

Courage would have to be the first and biggest trait. The idea of stepping out into a business for the first time can terrify many people. An entrepreneur realizes that they are stepping out into a world without a safety net and they go for it all anyway. Often it's not an overnight decision to become a business owner, it takes time. When that time comes, stepping out of the safety of the 9 to 5 into a world of 100% self accountability.

Entrepreneurs do not have to be geniuses either but they have to be good researchers. In order to be successful you have to know the business you are starting. You also have to know if there's a market and find a way to that market. We are not talking about reinventing the wheel, but knowing your business and being able to adapt to the market and overcome adversity.

Overcoming adversity takes more than courage, it takes some commitment. Commitment is a trait that entrepreneurs have in spades. No one paves a road for the true entrepreneur; they are trail blazers and pioneers. They are fiercely independent as individuals, not easily dissuaded from their goals and very much the tenacious individuals that they appear to be.

Brief entrepreneur job description would be the following:

· Finds and researches new business opportunities

· Improves on the current market segment

· Gets the funding to launch an enterprise

· Follows through and begins the new business

· Operates the business on a day to day basis overseeing details and babying their company into success

In a perfect world, this is exactly how this would play out. However there is one last trait all entrepreneurs should share; realism. Most entrepreneurs will quit before they reach their goal of success, this is true. However being a complete optimist will not get you very far either. There is a difference between being positive and being blindly optimistic. Entrepreneurs tend to be positive individuals who are pragmatic about the hurdles they face and the work it is going to take to vault over them.

The entrepreneur job description is one of the more difficult descriptions to pin down as we are all as varied in specialties and aptitudes as snowflakes. We do however all share the same traits and harnessing these traits is probably one of our biggest gifts and challenges.
