To be a successful entrepreneur, a person must have full confident to face the risk they will face now and in the future. Risk taker is means we willing to do something for sure even though we know we might loss everything we have right now. For sure if we need to choose life or carer, an entrepreneur must put priority in carer especially in the beginning of the business to operate.   To start a business, we need a lot of fund. That means we need to make bank loan, use personal saving, and others as capital to begin the business.  In term of economic, we call it as margin cost which means we need to let go an amount to get new amount or thing. In addition, the risk that entrepreneur also need to consider is their resting time.
