How do you define an entreprenuer?

After reading a few posts on here I thought this was a topic that is regularly discussed, so am curious to read how people define being an entreprenuer...

Is it a mindset, a lifestyle, a status, a title? Do you achieve this when you have achieved a certain level of results in wealth creation? I think it comes down to your actions and how you spend your time. I am broke at the moment and live with my parents, but consider myself more entrepreneurial than the status quo so where do I fit?

When is someone qualified to be called an entrepreneur?

Here are some definitions I found searching online...

An entrepreneur -derived from the French words 'entre' (ie: enter) and 'prendre'(ie: take)- is, in its most general sense, a person who creates or starts a new project, opportunity, or venture.

Most commonly, the term entrepreneur applies to someone who creates system to offer a product or service in order to obtain certain profit. Business entrepreneurs often have strong beliefs about a market opportunity and are willing to accept a high level of personal, professional or financial risk to pursue that opportunity.


They seem pretty general definitions to me. So what do you think?
