When one such entrepreneur was asked about the hardest decision he ever had to make, he answered that he didn´t know what a hard decision was. An entrepreneur will approach decision-making with the idea that there´s a strong likelihood that he/she will be wrong. This doesn´t dissuade them to the contrary they just do the best they can and worry about handling obstacles as they arise.
Here's a few entrepreneurs:

Interior design has been my passion for as long as I can remember - only I didn't always know it. Whether it was constantly rearranging my bedroom furniture as a little girl or laying out my office area when I worked in advertising, the idea of fulfilling the potential of the space I lived and worked in was of paramount importance to me; it finally dawned on me that my profession should reflect what I loved to do.
