What is an entrepreneur?

Before reading the guidebook I always thought an entrepreneur was just some person with a product that they wanted to unleash into the market, in hopes of making it big. I never thought of how a technology entrepreneur sought to solve a problem. When I think about my ideas, I really don't think they solve a compelling problem. My mobile board game app idea really just solves being able to play a fun mini-game based board game without actually having to be near a person. That idea was basically just mimicking a hot technology as the guidebook stated. It makes me less likely to follow through with that idea.

Applying that same concept of how technology entrepreneurs solve a problem to my second idea, making electronic music doesn't have a problem to solve at all. Maybe I am looking at this in the wrong way. If I were to ask how does Erik Hanberg's books try to solve a problem, I don't think that the problem would be there aren't enough entertaining plot thickening twist themed books out there. Then again, its aimed towards technology, which he is using to distribute his books.
