entrepreneur is a risk taker. That is the character. But I doubt all are pokers?

Sure! I think all of the people here in the forum are risk takers by nature. Entrepreneurs do what they feel is right and are passionate about no matter what. Their passion and drive takes them to greater heights. Thanks for posting! Good luck to you!

I think it's a valid question and one that raises another. Are entrepreneurs just like poker players? I say that, because many believe that poker is a game of skill - not a game of chance/luck. That if you have the skills, the drive, the patience and the stomach, you can succeeed. How is this different from being an entrepreneur. It is true that some businesses fail simply because of things outside one's control. However, when you look at serial entrepreneurs that create success after success, one starts to wonder if it is luck or simply skill.
