• God was the first entrepreneur. He brought something out of nothing. He established order out of chaos. He created for the good of others. Before the Bible tells us that God is loving, holy, or merciful, we learn that he is creative.
• We are made in the image of the First Entrepreneur; thus, when we follow his call to create businesses, nonprofits, art, music, books, and other products, we are not just doing something good for the world, we are doing something God-like. This is important because it validates the deep desire in our souls to create.
• The word entrepreneur first appeared in a French dictionary in 1723 to describe a person who undertakes a task with financial risk.
• Merriam-Webster defines an entrepreneur as “one who organizes, manages, and assumes the risks of a business or enterprise.”5
• We define these people as entrepreneurs because they created something new. They brought something out of relatively nothing. They established order out of chaos. And, through their creations, they loved and served the world.
