The other day, I came across a heated forum discussion that went back and forth debating over the definition of a “true” entrepreneur versus just a regular small business owner. The thread was over 5 pages long and participating in this discussion were a wide variety of different business owners. Some of them ran brick and mortar retail stores. Some of them ran small-medium sized internet consulting or software companies. And some of them were freelancers looking to eventually start their own firms.
The main crux of the debate was whether a person opening a brick and
mortar business like an ice cream store or a freelancer with no
employees could be considered a true entrepreneur. Where do you draw
the line between true entrepreneurship and just running a small
business?
As the two sides argued back and forth, I couldn’t help but think…who
the heck cares? Why are you guys wasting your time on such a stupid
topic and who are you to define what a “true” entrepreneur is? As the
discussion progressed, the small brick and mortar business owners as
well as the freelancers were clearly getting miffed because they were
being excluded from the entrepreneurship category. Since when did
entrepreneurship become a club?
