Quora Answer: What Comes to Mind When You Hear “Visionary Entrepreneur”

The following is my answer to a Quora question: “What is the first question that comes to your mind when you hear the words ‘visionary entrepreneur’?”

If he is visionary, then what are other entrepreneurs?  This is merely presumption or ignorance.  An entrepreneur is any individual who, by himself, or part of a team, creates a new business, bearing most of the risks associated with starting it, seeking to enjoy most of the rewards, if the business succeeds.  The process of entrepreneurship requires a vision, an over the horizon goal, to seize market share, and engineer a profitable exit for the business, whether cash cow, listing, merger or otherwise.  Every entrepreneur is a visionary.  Calling yourself a visionary entrepreneur does not make you special.
