A business owner is the boss, but it's a job, a place that is stable and profitable. An entrepreneur is an artist of sorts, throwing his/herself into impossible situations and seeking out problems that require heart and guts to solve. Both are fine, but choose.

You get to keep making art as long as you are willing to make the choices that let you make your art.

'Good enough' stopped being good enough a long time ago. so why not be great?
