Innovations International Discuss The Different Types Of Entrepreneurs

HARTFORD, CT, November 2013 – The book Entrepreneurial DNA (http://amzn.to/entrepreneurialdna), by Joe Abraham, the founder of BOSI Global (http://www.bosiglobal.com/) is based on Joe’s study of over 1,000 entrepreneurs. The research confirmed that all entrepreneurs fall into four distinct types that leverage unique strengths, weaknesses and tendencies typical in each specific type of entrepreneur, which kind are you?

1. The Builder: You have a drive to build highly scalable businesses very fast. Infrastructure drives the decisions they make and the strategy they build and deploy. They aren't satisfied with a certain amount of personal income or goodwill toward man. They are master recruiters of talent, investors and customers. They exhibit a controlling temperament, struggle most with personal relationships and typically have a revolving door of talent in their companies.

2. The Opportunist: Highly optimistic master promoter who enjoys marketing and selling. Measures success based on the amount of money they make (or will make) when they aren't working. Drawn to business opportunities where they can create residual and renewal income. This behavioral pre-set in entrepreneurs makes them impulsive decision makers, especially when it comes to money-making opportunities.

3. The Specialist: The experts of our world. Very analytical, relatively risk-averse and anti-selling. Specialists generate most of their new business from referrals and networking. They measure success based on their personal income. Their businesses tend to grow fairly well in the early growth phase, but as soon as their personal income hits pre-set targets, their internal thermostat kicks in and they go into customer service mode.

4. The Innovator: The breakthrough discovery typically drives this entrepreneur in the "lab" of their business -- where they want to invent, design and tinker. They would much rather be in the lab of their business than at the cash register or in the business office. They find operating a business draining. They measure success based on the impact their product or service is having on mankind. "It's not about the money," you'll hear them say. "I'd do this for free for the rest of my life if I could." The innovators control most of the great intellectual property of our time. Unfortunately, they hide in dungeons and find it hard to engage in business discussions.

For centuries the approach to entrepreneurship has been -- what worked for one entrepreneur will work for every entrepreneur. But research has proven that entrepreneurs are all different. Some of us are Innovator-Builders. Others are Specialist-Opportunists.

Knowing what type of entrepreneur you are is critical to selecting the business, strategy and team best suited for you. Just because it worked for Richard Branson (Opportunist-Builder) or Bill Gates (http://www.entrepreneur.com/topic/bill-gates) (Specialist-Builder), doesn't mean it will work for you.
