Entrepreneurial

An entrepreneur starts and/or manages any enterprise, usually business, and it involves risk.

According to an NYT article from a couple years ago,

"The small business is the idealized social form of our time. Our culture hero is not the artist or reformer, not the saint or scientist, but the entrepreneur. (Think of Steve Jobs, our new deity.) Autonomy, adventure, imagination: entrepreneurship comprehends all this and more for us. The characteristic art form of our age may be the business plan."

It is suggested that the hero of the millennial generation is the entrepreneur.  Surprisingly,  entrepreneurism and marketing were the top college majors of 2013.

"The entrepreneurial spirit of the millennial generation celebrates values Christianity holds dear:  risk taking (leaps of faith), creativity (Imago Dei), and impacting the world for greater good (kingdom advancing)."
