own innovative idea called as entrepreneur have very unique skill, traits and personality by
which they achieve success in their business operations. I have personally evaluated that in order
to start up a new business an individual have to suffer from different kind of risk so that the
difficulties which they face in their business can be easily solved. The mind set and personality
of an entrepreneur also consist of enthusiasm, excitement, openness etc. The family background
of an entrepreneur also plays an important role in making him a successful person and making
his dream successful for starting up their own business.

experiences and family background of an individual have a great role in paving
way for or restraining entrepreneurship.
