So You Want to Be an Entrepreneur? | College Hunks Moving & Hauling Junk

Many people dream of owning their own business, but it takes a certain type of person to make those dreams a successful reality. Those who do are often considered entrepreneurs – talented visionaries with a flair for business, the foresight and sensitivity to perceive an unanswered customer need, and the creativity, skills, and tenacity to answer it. There are several types of entrepreneurs but experts say that all have some personality traits in common. Research has found that the top two personality traits that entrepreneurs share are perception and intuition. In other words, they know a good business opportunity when they see it.

While it may seem that money would be the driving force for entrepreneurs, many experts agree that they are more motivated by their passion to do what they love to do. They are also highly motivated to attain success and aren’t afraid to work hard to achieve it. Perhaps best of all, they know how to motivate their employees and inspire them to help achieve their dreams and join them on their journey to success. Entrepreneurs also are incurable optimists, always able to envision positive future outcomes from their efforts. They are creative in solving problems and devising new ideas. In addition, they are risk-takers who understand the classic truism: nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Business and psychology experts have separated the types of entrepreneurs into four categories based on their willingness to accept innovative ideas and those ideas corresponding risk level:

1. Innovative Entrepreneur: These are industry leaders who have new ideas and create transformational products and services. They are the consummate risk-takers, always ready to rise to a challenge.

2. Imitating Entrepreneurs: These business leaders take what Innovative Entrepreneurs have created, understand how to duplicate it, and employ their intuition and business skills to launch the concept in markets that need it.

3. Fabian Entrepreneurs: These are the skeptics of the entrepreneur crowd. They observe the success of entrepreneurial concepts and participate only when they are satisfied in their belief that they will succeed with the concept.

4. Drone Entrepreneurs: Highly resistant to change, these entrepreneurs keep their businesses very much the same as when they created them – even if they are losing money in the process.
