ideas, new products, new production methods or processes, discover
potential markets and reorganize the company’s structure. These are
the industry leaders and contributes significantly towards the
economic development of the country.The innovative entrepreneurs
have an unusual foresight to recognize the demand for goods and
services. They are always ready to take a risk because they enjoy the
excitement of a challenge, and every challenge has some risk
associated with it. Ratan Tata is said to be an innovative entrepreneur,
who launched the Tata Nano car at a considerably low cost.
2. Imitating Entrepreneurs: The imitating entrepreneurs are those who
immediately copy the new inventions made by the innovative
entrepreneurs. These do not make any innovations by themselves;
they just imitate the technology, processes, methods pioneered by
others. These entrepreneurs are found in the places where there is a
lack of resources or industrial base due to which no new innovations
could be made. Thus, they are suitable for the underdeveloped regions
where they can imitate the combinations of inventions already well-
established in the developed regions, in order to bring a boom in their
industry.

8. Resilient
There will always be some failures and roadblocks in the way. So the
entrepreneur has to be resilient and steadfast in his pursuit of success.
The decision makers and law makers in the countries must work towards improving the
business environments for developing one strong entrepreneurial ecosystem. By making
specific decisions like tax alleviations for small businesses and entrepreneurs, any government
can increase the strength of the entrepreneurial system in the country.
The educators
Changes among educators, teachers and trainers must be made in order to stimulate the
leadership skills and natural talents of their students. Entrepreneurship can be instigated by
implementing the right methods and approaches. Not only entrepreneurs must be educated, the
community as well has to be educated about the importance of entrepreneurship, because the
world needs innovation.
Entrepreneur communities
Choosing an entrepreneurial path is a very risky life choice which can lead to many life
setbacks. But the entrepreneurial spirit and innovative vision of entrepreneurs are the leading
powers supporting this very important decision. Being an entrepreneur has its challenges and
giving up the stable job and regular paycheck is one of these challenges.
Even that many of the first-time entrepreneurs are aware of the risks and are ready to face any
obstacles, there is one key factor which can affect the course of this important decision. The
support of family and friends is very important for entrepreneurs and startup owners. They are
already sacrificing a lot of their personal time which can affect their relationships with the
others. How can entrepreneurs handle unsupportive friends and family is one very difficult yet
important question to be answered.
Avoid arguing and getting into limitless conversations where you should explain every step
you take. It is tough but this is your life and you should live it the way you really want. Explain
your idea well to your family and friends. Make them believe in it. Explain to them that this is
what you really want and that you believe in it. Learn to stand up for your goals and to achieve
them because this is what you are supposed to do.
Don’t give up
When entrepreneurs face ultimatums from their closest people, this can damage the growth of
their business. Don’t give up just because your family and friends want you to do something
else. They are probably worried what will happen if you will fail. Keep working hard, because
the real thing that pays back is hard work, not self doubt.
Stay confident
Believe in your ability to turn your idea into successful business and sooner or later you will
succeed. Of course, it would be better if you had the strong support of your family and friends,
but you need to keep believing in yourself to make the rest of the world to believe in you too.
Stay true to your vision and find the support you need in your confidence.
