If you were to look up the word entrepreneur in the dictionary you would find that it means “a person who organizes and manages any enterprise, a business usually with considerable initiative and risk.” These days the term entrepreneur is used so much that it seems like everybody from stay at home moms, to the local tattoo artist, are claiming to be such. The truth is that as fancy as this word maybe, anyone can be an entrepreneur.

(1) The advances in technology and ease in connecting to the global economy increase the need for a virtual career.
