There is an entrepreneur side of every human

On a daily basis we are consciously or

Conceptualizing
Selling
Buying
Negotiating.

Conceptualizing, selling, buying and
negotiating are all rudiments of
business therefore if we do any of
these every now and then, we may
not be wrong to simply say that by
nature every man or woman has
business basics in him or her.
