If you have decided you want to try your hand at making money online you could say you were a bit an entrepreneur. You might not think of yourself as one but the definition of an entrepreneur, a word we have borrowed from the French, is person who is willing to help launch a new venture or enterprise and accept full responsibility for the outcome.
In starting an online business, even if you are only going to begin in a small way, you are an entrepreneur.

Characteristics of Entrepreneur – Leadership, Ingenuity, Instinct
Anyone can have a good idea, but only a true visionary can take that idea and turn it into a successful business. With that in mind, many people want to become entrepreneurs and to found their own businesses and companies, but few actually have the skills and determination to make their dreams come true.
In order to attain your goals in the business arena, it’s important to exhibit the three main characteristics of entrepreneur that will ensure that you stay the course until you’ve reached the finish line. If you want to bring your ideas to fruition, it’s a good idea to cultivate these characteristics.
The first characteristic of entrepreneur is leadership. If you want to get others on board with your business idea, you have to be able to inspire them to follow you. You have to inspire confidence in the people that will be working for you, investing in your business, and helping you to make your business a huge success.
This means that you have to be a self-starter, to be able to motivate yourself, and, most importantly, that you have to believe in your own vision, and believe that you can make it a success. When the leader hesitates, the entire group falters.
The second characteristic of entrepreneur is ingenuity. If you have an idea that’s the spitting image of someone else’s idea, there’s no need for anyone to invest in your business. They might as well go and invest in the business that has the exact same model and is already a success.
You need to think outside the box as an entrepreneur, and think of innovative solutions to problems that people might not even realize that they have. You have to have the courage to do what no one else has ever done before you.
The third characteristic of entrepreneur is instinct. The savvy entrepreneur recognizes a good opportunity when he sees it. He doesn’t need to consult with a bunch of other people to confirm
what he already knows.
In the world of business, opportunities may come and go in the blink of an eye. That’s why it’s so important to seize an opportunity right when it’s presented to you, so that you don’t miss out. But you also have to discern between good opportunities and scams. They may look similar on the outside, but a truly great entrepreneur must learn to tell the difference.
