5.  (a)   Willingness to take risks: There is an element of risk in any business. It means that it is not required for
                             every firm to make a profit. This discourages people from taking risks and starting their own businesses.
                             An entrepreneur, on the other hand, always offers to take risks in order to manage a successful firm.
                          (b)  Ability to make decisions: While running a business, an entrepreneur must make a variety of decisions.

                             at a breakneck pace in the modern world. If an entrepreneur lacks the ability to make appropriate and
                             timely judgments, he or she may miss out on an opportunity and incur damages.
