Entrepreneurial Spirit

The past week has launched my world view into a whole new dimension. Traveling into the small rural village of Belgaon Dhaga has transformed my understanding of what it truely means to be an entrepreneur.

A very tough question in itself: "What is an entrepreneur?"
Your textbook answer may be:
- Someone who is willing to take risks in a new business venture.
- An innovator that will take advantage of a profitable opportunity.
- Someone who is willing to do what others don't.
Though these are all commendable goals, none define the true nature of what the ambigous french term really means. A nature that alluded me until now. A nature that exists in the hearts of the entrepreneurs of Belgaon Dhaga.
