Introduction
Over the last two decades, entrepreneurship has been amongst the fastest growing area of economic and business interest and research all over the world. If entrepreneurship is defined as a process of creating new and valuable things (Hisrich and Peters 1989) and if entrepreneur is someone who perceives and exploits opportunities (Drucker 1985) then entrepreneurial process is a major factor of economic development and the entrepreneur is the key figure of economic growth. The growing interest in the area of entrepreneurship has developed alongside interest in the changing role of small businesses. Statistical data and analyses of several countries show that small ventures grow faster than large firms, and over the last decades large firms lost jobs while small firms created new workplaces. In addition, small firms are found to be the major source of new innovations. This increasing importance is also due to some major changes in the business environment such as harsh global as well as local competition, sudden and unexpected alteration of the demand, the acceleration of the technological development, and consequently, the increase of risk. Innovation, immediate adoption and reply to changes, and entrepreneurial behavior have become vital not only for development but also for survival of the businesses. So we can say that Entrepreneurship development is extremely important for a countries progress. As a developing country like Bangladesh an entrepreneur can play grand role for socio economic development. Bangladesh Government tries its best to make available facilitating role for the development of Entrepreneur.

Figure: The increasing position the price of gold Here the graph shows that the increasing of gold price for last few years up to 2011.The price has increased step by step from the year 2005 to 2011.But uncertainly the price has increased in a high range. As a result the sale of gold ornaments has decreased in the market. The fall of jewelry: Lets turn from old scrap where jewelry is a source of supply to jewelry fabrication, which until recent years has been a steady and reliable source of gold demand.
Gold jewelry fabrication demand reached an all-time in 1997 at 3,342 tons and, since then, has been trending downward. This year, I expect worldwide jewelry fabrication demand will total little more than 2,100 tons. Much of the decline in jewelry off take has occurred since 2001 and reflects the substantial rise in gold prices both in U.S. dollar terms and in local currencies for many important geographic jewelry markets. With the continuing credit crisis and global recession, demand has also been hit hard by the collapse in retail sales, especially in the United States and Europe. In addition, and of importance to the near-term outlook, the steep decline in fabrication has been exaggerated by the running down of inventories on hand at manufacturers, distributors, and retailers. In general, I expect a modest recovery in worldwide jewelry demand, reflecting an improving economic environment in some of the developing markets especially India and China and supported also by some rebuilding of inventories . . . but this recovery will muted by the expected rise in the metals price over the next few years. Present position of goldsmith: Now a days the position of goldsmith is not satisfactory in respect of their earning .The demand of foreign made gold by latest modern technical machine has raised more than the local made jewelry and obviously decreasing the demand of local goldsmith. The manufacturing of jewelry is turned into less quantity due to rise of present gold price as a result in one side gold smith is losing their job and in consideration of earning there going abroad. In our country wages of gold smith is not sufficient in order to maintain their lively hood .The demand of Bangladeshi Gold smith in abroad has become a competitive one
growth, the international gold price increases will slow down. However, the global financial crisis has changed to some extent, the history of the international gold price changes, track, September 2008, when the global financial crisis and the world economy into a severe recession, the international gold price downward trend, the end of 2008 , the lowest international price of gold fell to 600 dollars / ounce; second half of 2009, when most countries have been out of recession, growth in world economic recovery, the international gold prices have seen a dramatic rise in a row within a year surpassed 1,000 U.S. dollars / ounce , 1100 U.S. dollars / ounce, $ 1,200 / oz and $ 1,300 / oz mark the four integers, and create the history of the international gold price record. After the crisis, the process of economic recovery in the world, why international gold prices will rise sharply it? From the current situation, mainly in the following four reasons: First, the pressure on the dollar; the second is the threat of inflation; third is the uncertainty of the recovery process; Fourth, the international gold market supply and demand changes. However, some economists believe that the international gold market is a bubble market, increase the risk of investing in gold. Soros also noted that recently, investing in gold is not absolutely safe, the price of gold rally will not last forever, because gold is a hedge against inflation, after all goods, not the best investment products and other commodities like gold are as rigid requirements.

8. The government should ease the commercial rules and regulation for possible communication to other countries towards the exports. 9. It is possible to earn more foreign currency from this industry if government ease the restriction and reduce import tax on gold and about precious stone like Diamond, Garcon as well as metal like platinum, white gold that the jewelry dealers can import directly and able to export after making the ornaments. On that regards it can be use of Export promotion Jones. 10. Above all there should be display center in Dubai and the other intentional for getting the prospective market of jewelry ornaments.
