WHAT IS AN ENTREPRENEUR?

Read the following and answer the questions that follow:

Tyrone
Like many young people, Tyrone tried a lot of different jobs before he realized that he needed to
pursue her own dream. He always wanted to be a photographer and once he adopted that vision,
he didnt waver until he had achieved that goal. Tyrone started his own company and began
developing computer software for photography. Tyrone believes that if you want to achieve
success, you should practice envisioning yourself as a successful person. Tyrone achieves his
greatest satisfaction from accomplishing his goals.

Mimi
Mimi is a health buff, and so are many of her friends. After going on a summer vacation with her
Mom in the countryside, Mimi came up with an ideaan organic leisure park! Its similar to an
ordinary leisure park with playground and garden. And instead of ornamental trees and plants,
she thought of planting edible organic vegetables and fruit trees, where people can pick and
pay for their consumption. Although she didnt have much money to put towards her new
business venture, Mimi decided to borrow money from the bank in order to lease land from the
city where she lives, and pay for advertising. And being the eco-preneur that she is, Mimis
Organic Park uses only organic fertilizers and a system that conserves water. Since Mimi is still in
high school, she works very hard maintaining the park and running her business. But she wouldnt
have it any other way. She hopes to expand her idea to the neighboring town.

Gayle
As a high school student, Gayle was more interested in Art and English subjects than running a
business. She liked to make things and sew her own clothes. She went to art school, but was not
motivated and went on to work in a bank. But when she was 29, Gayle returned to art school
and this time she set out to make her mark in the world. Today, Gayle is a successful clothing
designer. She credits her success to persistence and to always trying something new, something
different.
