Abstract:	It aims at the study on the transitional process of the one from professional worker to entrepreneur. What makes such study interested is that it unlocks some given assumptions concerning innovation and entrepreneurship, and the research perspective employed here also sheds some inspired insights for further study in entrepreneurship. The stance of this study suggests that the definition of entrepreneurship is not necessary related to venture creation, the struggle and devotion that ordinary people make for their daily living can be deem as the act of entrepreneurship through the perspective of “Entrepreneuring”. The story of Fu, who is a Chinese medical doctor, clinic manager and an entrepreneur as well, is illustrated, observed and interpreted to represent how he transits from one identity to another, how he processes and reacts to strange circumstance and enacts entrepreneurship along the way his clinic business developed. From his story, we found that: 1) managerial sense is a drive that motivates people to practice entrepreneurship; 2) the personal theory which comes from practice is the fundamental presentation of entrepreneurship; and 3) diverse contextual stimulation is necessary to reinforce entrepreneurship.
