Entrepreneur

 
Background
An entrepreneur starts and runs their own business, which could be anything from a small online shop to a service-based company. They come up with ideas, manage finances, make decisions about how the business operates, and work to attract customers. Entrepreneurs often wear many hats—they might handle marketing, sales, customer service, and planning all at once.
