THE CULTIVATION OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP WITHIN MARGINALISED COMMUNITIES

Jeffrey Timmons inspired definition of an entrepreneur:

able to create and build a business or organization from practically nothing; make things happen for themselves by accepting responsibility; turn set-backs into opportunities; see gaps; sense opportunities; maintain effort until objectives had been achieved; build founding teams of talents around them to complement their abilities in areas where they are less knowledgeable or skilled; initiate and do; have the know-how to find, marshal and control resources (often owned by others) and make sure they do not run out of money when they need it most and; take calculated risks, both personal and financial to then do everything they possibly can to turn the odds in their favor.
