Morphology
The meaning 'a person who has started and managed a business venture that has achieved significant success' is directly derivable from combining 'successful' (having achieved success) with 'entrepreneur' (a person who starts a business). This adjective+noun composition is compositional and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand the phrase.
Etymology
Successful entrepreneur comes from a word for someone who 'takes on' a project or starts a business, so imagine a person who builds a shop or a new idea from scratch. That's why a successful entrepreneur is someone who started a business and made it work.
