                 •  They own up to their actions.
                 •  They make decisions thoughtfully.
                 •  They are diligent workers.

                 Entrepreneurs operate their business within a marketplace where individuals buy and sell products and services.
                 This exchange benefits everyone involved as it generates income for all participants. In this way, entrepreneurs
                 contribute to the growth of their community and society.

                 There are two ways in which a person can earn their livelihood i.e. wage employment and self-employment.
                 Wage employees are individuals who are employed by another person or organisation and receive compensation
                 for  their  work.  For example, office employees, factory  workers,  retail staff, and  professionals working  for a
                 corporation or business.
