The capacity to be comfortable in an ever-changing situation is what separates an entrepreneur from people who want to build their career and job security. Both paths have their own rewards; it just boils down to preference.
According to investopedia.com, the word “Entrepreneur” means an individual who builds their business, including most of the risks and appreciating all of the rewards.
Entrepreneurs willingly embrace a life full of risks. They emphasize the potential of “choice” trusting only in themselves and their instinct. They always search for change and exploit it as an opportunity. If you are an entrepreneur, you likely fall into one of these categories:
There are four main types of entrepreneurs. These are:
1. Trailblazer/Pioneer
They are always one step ahead. They are the inventors. They have a dream of their own, and they make it happen. Having a legacy to leave behind is very important, but the challenge is to have a positive impact on the world.
2. Survivors
These are entrepreneurs who are sick of a 9-5 job and may have had some bad professional experiences in the past. They decided to rebel against the system and take control of their lives. They started their own business for the freedom and financial independence it entails.
3. Visionaries
They still see the bigger picture. This type treats business as a puzzle, putting every piece in their rightful places to complete the bigger picture that they’ve envisioned. They treat every piece equally. Those pieces are places, things, and people that are within their vision.
They think outside the box. Visionaries are known for their innovative minds, creativity and ultimate devotion to their ideas. Like modern gurus, their goal is to preach new ideas and convince people that it will change their lives forever. For many, it is a risky gamble but for some, it works.
4. Strategists
They are walking excel spreadsheets. They know everything about their businesses, there is no angle they haven’t considered or stone they left unturned.
Money is often their main motivation and their strategic thinking skills and analytical mind definitely gets them good results.
