This article from the economist talks about two kinds of entrepreneurs:
"The first is the popular view: that entrepreneurs are people who run their own companies, the self-employed or small-business people. The second is Joseph Schumpeter’s view that entrepreneurs are innovators: people who come up with ideas and embody those ideas in high-growth companies."

Which one do you fit in with?
