Twenty years ago, no one even used the word entrepreneur. But now, it's used far too liberally. It's used to describe college students selling advertising on their Myspace page. It's used to describe stay-at-home moms making money with data transcription. It's even been used to describe little kids at lemonade stands.
However, a true entrepreneur:
- Researches and understands their market
- Generates leads and closes sales
- Effectively grows their business
- Knows that the economy doesn't drive sales, they drive sales
