Abstract

The concept of entrepreneurship plays a crucial role in propelling the creation and growth of businesses as well as the innovation, growth and prosperity of regions and Nations across the world. However, this concept, over the past century has been abused globally because very little light has been shed into the foundation and formation of Entrepreneurship alongside its distinctive features and hurdles. As a result, previous research paid attention to the traits and behaviors of entrepreneurs alongside with the various benefits that comes with the practice of entrepreneur without first establishing the history behind the concept; the core feature that differentiates an entrepreneur from a businessman and how to effectively manage crucial and inevitable hurdles; like stress: through team management. In light of this, this study fills this gap by providing in-depth knowledge regarding the workings of an entrepreneur. Using a semi-structured interview, the findings reveal that planning is key to entrepreneurial success and it planning entails various processes including the team selection, team motivation strategy, and work place culture. Also, the findings indicate that with a motivated staff, the entrepreneur will face limited stress. The study concludes with recommendations for the purpose of fostering the entrepreneurial journey and facilitating success.
