An entrepreneur ... a person who has possession of an enterprise and is accountable for the inherent risks and the outcome.  There are different types of entrepreneurs; the Entrepreneurial Notary is most likely to fall into the ‘lifestyle’ category.  “A lifestyle entrepreneur places passion before profit when launching a business” Wikipedia.

Notaries may not necessarily place passion before profit, but certainly many intend to develop and grow their notarial practice in order to make a sustainable and viable living working in a field where they have a particular knowledge and a high degree of expertise and - hopefully -an interest and talent.
