What is a Divapreneur?
What is a divapreneur anyway?
My friend, Leesa Barnes has started a new network called Ryze Divapreneurs At Work is
http://daw-network.ryze.com/ She asked us to define a divapreneur. Now it is the prolific article writer that I am, I could not answer this question without writing an article on it. Sit back and become
divafied!
First Divapreneur is a combination of words and diva entrepreneurs. To define divapreneur
we must first define star and entrepreneur. To do this I went to Wikipedia.
This is what I found out from Wikipedia:
Most widely used definition of diva
A Diva was originally a famous female opera singer, but now usually refers to a popular female performer of non-operas.
The term comes from an Italian word meaning "goddess", which in turn derives from the feminine form of a star Latin word, meaning "divine."
This definition has been found on the following page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diva
I felt like the distinction of being a talented singer left out some non-musical ladies so I decided to use this definition of a diva, instead:
# In current usage among the younger generations, the diva term is used to describe a woman of talent and confidence. This definition has been found on the next page.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diva_ 28disambiguation% 29%
Now is the time to define entrepreneur, the second part of this word. This definition also comes from Wikipedia.
Entrepreneur
Entrepreneur is a loanword from French language that refers to a person who undertakes and operates a new venture,
and assumes no responsibility for the risks involved.
Entrepreneurs often have strong beliefs about a market opportunity and are willing to accept a high level of personal risk, or financial professional to pursue this opportunity.
So a divapreneur is therefore a woman of talent and self-confident, who undertakes and operates a new venture,
and assumes no responsibility for the risks involved.
Well, I guess that makes me a divapreneur. Like you? ......
