It is all about new ideas device or methods. And can we solve the problem with the new
ideas by the example uber solve the taxi problem, pay pal solve the currency problem goggle
map solve the mapping or gaps problems (O'Connor ., 2013). Innovation tend s to be produced

yields.

experience can hinder or foster entrepreneurship.
Entrepreneurship has been hailed as an avenue for upward social mobility and a driver of
innovation, job creation, and growth. As a result, policies aimed at encouraging successful
entrepreneurship have been adopted in many countries.
One might suppose that entrepreneurship is god gifted or come by parents. Entrepreneurship is
genetic matter it is always influence by peoples domestic or outer environment . some people
grow up in very favorable conditions so they have good chance for success they have their
parents experience (Smallbone and et. Al., 2012). Modeling appears to be the main driver of the
intergenerational association in entrepreneurship (Lindquist et al. 2015). Additionally, exposure
to a dense entrepreneurial environment during formative years also increases the likelihood of
entry into entrepreneurship (Guise and et al,. 2015)
There are two entrepreneur warren buffet and Walt Disney both are one of the best example for
that .Walt Disney started off as a farm boy drawing cartoon picture of his neighbors. Horses for
fun. When he was older, Walt tried to get a job as news paper cartoonist, but was unable to find
one and ended up working in art studio where he created ads for newspaper and magazines. It is
best animation company in the world as compare to other animation company. Disney latest
project is Aladdin (Duane Ireland . 2006). But some weak point about Disney that it is not more
variable in compare to the marvels.
Second warren buffet born in Omaha 30 august 1930.He is the best investor in the world he had
share in coca Heinz craft and apple. His attribute about investment are non compare to other. we
can say he is god father of investment market. His weakness is that now a days his share down

lot of big company because he can view the future.
