Entrepreneurship project

An ENTREPRENEUR is a person who starts a business. They notice a problem people have, dream up a way to solve it, and then build a small business to sell that solution. The world\u2019s biggest companies all started as one person with an idea — a kid selling lemonade is doing exactly the same job, just smaller. The skill that turns a daydream into a real business is called a BUSINESS PLAN.
