A hairdresser or a gardener is an entrepreneur too. I dont know where this moronic idea that everyone wants to create some new Facebook or Google just because they want to be on their own.
What happened to growing a sustainable business around the craft you believe you are good at?

I mean... Go to any coffeeshop in SF and eavesdrop on the derps talking about their big ideas. "It's like twitter mixed with grindr... But for Lyft drivers. I'd tell you more, but I'll need you to sign an nda."
No, the hairdresser/gardener/accountant etc is self-employed. It's a spectrum, but basically it goes from self-employed but not novel all the way across to world-changing. Both are self-employed, but to the difference between the hairdresser and Elon Musk or Steve Jobs isn't scale. It's novelty.
If so, then Microsoft was not an enterprise and Bill Gates was not an entrepreneur when they started. After all, they bought their software and sold for and established company. Zero novelty involved.
(In that vein, almost all enterprises failed, the second coming of the innovation is where things usually happen. Or later.)
Funny.. I actually had to call justfab.com today to cancel my wife’s account. Took me one hour and three different people before they finally managed to shut it down. First attempt they hung up on me when I told them she was a mute. Second time I just told them it was none of their business why she couldn’t talk on the phone. The account was registered with my credit card in my name but they still wouldn’t let me cancel or even have my credit card removed from the account. Shit company...
