Real Entrepreneur or Good Professional?
Posted on May 1, 2005
In my years of dealing with Worldwide Internet business I’ve encountered 2 basic entrepreneur types: the businessman and the highly trained professional. You might wonder what are the differences between the 2.
Well, the businessman is a person who “smells” a good opportunity and tries to take advantages of his skills to cash it. The highly trained professional is exactly the opposite: he is very good at his day by day job (could be a programmer, a lawyer or anything else) and his 9 to 18 daily work is not sufficient anymore - he feels he could do a lot more on his own. Also, he doesn’t often see the business opportunity and his entrepreneurship is based more on chance. To summarize, while the business man could be selling sand in the desert and making a fortune, the professional is more like a lab person, he works on what he knows best and being taken from his strong domain he becomes helpless.
I know both types are sometimes successful and sometimes not because entrepreneurship is about 10% long work hours and 90% about chance.
