Entrepreneurship employs what Joseph Schumpeter called "the gale of creative destruction" which uproots existing market offerings partially or completely and replaces it with products or services of a superior nature. The entrepreneur who pioneers this process takes considerable amount of risk and initiative to convert an idea or an invention into an innovation having viable business opportunity. Standing in entrepreneurs’ way would be the roadblocks of lack of funding, bad business decisions, economic crises, or lack of market demand which have to be successfully overcome if they do not plan to join the multitude of nascent ventures that close down within years of their institution. Thus when such an enterprise sees light, the men behind it are often hailed as heroes and their success becomes a matter of inspiration and discussion among business enthusiasts and common men alike. These stories deepen one’s acumen in business, offer a perspective of the likely obstacles in a business segment, or develop an appreciation for the role that entrepreneurs play in an economy. These accounts of entrepreneurship, however, are acutely dissimilar and have distinct lessons to convey.
