In my professional life I run across a lot of people who describe themselves as entrepreneurs. Most of them are wrong.

As you said, an entrepreneur is someone who, if their business fails, finds it has a negative tangible effect on their personal life. Without that possible real negative outcome, someone is merely an investor. And that’s a whole different kettle of fish.

An entrepreneur’s hand shakes when they write that first check. They bet big on themselves. An investor bets rationally on others.
