ABSTRACT
Entrepreneurship is a competitive endeavour and all standing in it is relative. A similar logic of broad participation can apply to entrepreneurship, and exposure to it can also occur early on. Just like the spirit of sportsmanship, the spirit of entrepreneurship can endure through life. Those carrying the spirit can, aside from venturing on their own, be vital catalysts within communities, established companies, or governments for the creation of culture of innovation, a constant pursuit of improvement. The individual vs. collective tension further reveals itself in the fact that there is no collective without the individuals: it is the individuals that make the collective. The nature of entrepreneurial success as a collective outcome recognizes that every participant in the entrepreneurial ecosystem makes a positive contribution, even if their individual efforts are not successful.
