Entrepreneur 

When someone isn't actually a business owner yet continues to claim when asked what they do, "I'm an entrepreneur." When they actually don't have any business, idea, or typically intent to do anything other than watching Mogul videos.
Jimmy: "Hey Todd, what do you do for a living?"

Todd: "Oh, I'm an Entrepreneur!"
Jimmy: " Oh, cool. What business do you do?"
Todd: " Well, I'm still in the "Planning Phase" <or> " I'm going to finish my 'plan' first," <or> "Well I have options I'm letting play out. I have options. "
Jimmy: " So, you're... not an Entrepreneur?"
Todd: "Haven't been listening to me? "

entrepreneur ethics 

The moral underpinnings of being or becoming an entrepreneur include: 1. take care of your business, 2. so your business can take care of your family, 3. so your family can take care of you, 4. so you do not become a burden on your fellow human being or the state, 5. so you are in a position to help your fellow human being and 6. so they can help your business.
