Who is not an entrepreneur

Being an entrepreneur is not something that is taught. It definitely takes on many shapes and many routes lead to it. Although it is hard to describe how to become one, generally an entrepreneur is defined as someone that starts a venture and assuming, in the process, all risks associated with it. However, since it's hard to pinpoint the intrinsic qualities of an entrepreneur, defining what is NOT is a lot easier.

• If you are tweeting links of yesterday's tech and startup news, you are not an entrepreneur
• If you spam your social network connections with famous quotes from the basement of your parents' house, you are definitely not an entrepreneur
• If your daddy is a big-shot prime minister, who connected you to big-shot CEOs to help you start a company, you are not a freakin' entrepreneur
• If you stole your idea from a successful company and bragged about being able to have a 1% market share, you are an IP thief, not an entrepreneur
• If you technically live in conference halls and auditoriums and participate in workshops for topics you're interested in, but actually do not understand because you're basically an iPhone next to a لوح, you are not an entrepreneur
• If you are reading this post and got angry because it conflicts with your fake sense of entrepreneurship, you are not a god damn entrepreneur
