          Personally, I believe that everyone is an entrepreneur in a way. Right now as a college student, we are taking risks and investing money into ourselves and the future in the hopes of making money. Now when talking about the more traditional definition, I am not an entrepreneur as I do not have a business that I am investing in or trying to create to make money. In the future I plan on becoming a true entrepreneur.

          I believe that I am a self-starter. Of course this is not the case every single time but I would like to think I take initiative and work on things without being told.
