Just when you thought you have heard it all up pops a word that startles, ultrapreneur. If you never heard this word before don't worry you are not alone. At this point you are probably wondering, without looking up the definition, is it some sort of an entrepreneur? I decided myself not to look at the definition for a whole week to see if I can come up with my own meaning of this word.
