[Mr. Wade Garrett]

What if your idea is stolen by a Jew from Harvard? Half an entrepreneur?

Was Fogenbaum a Jew?

It depends -- yes if you also participate in its day to day management/operation on some level. No if you are essentially passive and have other people running it and just supply capital.

Bad question. Could have been much more interesting.

I think anyone that risks their own capital and derives income from said business is an entrepreneur.

 

[HereComeTheCats]

There's only one true entrepreneur.

Interesting breakdown of voters on this poll: poll:. Note that there's a new option that allows you to make the voters publicly viewable.

Adp, you consider yourself an entrepreneur?

 

[adp98]

Yes. My view is simple: you risk your own with the purpose of making money= entrepeneur. Now there are certainly levels of entrepeneurship.

 

[NickleDimer]

As opposed to risk-free business ventures?

Dude. Shut up.

You dont offer insight into anything, just try to look smart by shitting on other people who were ballsy enough to make an argument. You suck.

Maybe you don't need to be doing something innovative or with greater than normal risk, but I think at a minimum you need to be controlling the decision-making, not just investing capital.

You also need to be doing more than following a franchise cookbook to manage an instantiation of a business model that a real entrepreneur already set in motion.
