Website design By BotEap.comSo what is a divapreneur anyway?

http://daw-network.ryze.com/ He asked us to define a divapreneur. Now that I’m the prolific article writer that I am, I couldn’t answer this question without writing an article about it. Sit back and become

rambling!

first we have to define diva and entrepreneur. To do this, I went to Wikipedia.

Most commonly used definition of diva

Website design By BotEap.comA Diva was originally a distinguished opera singer, but now generally refers to a popular performer of non-operatic works.

Entrepreneur is a word borrowed from the French language that refers to a person, who starts and operates a new company,

and assumes some responsibility for the inherent risks.
