They do tend to fall into categories that we can attribute
some specific characteristics. These categories are
1-Serial entrepreneurs
Is someone who focuses on
starting multiple businesses one after another.
Their focus is to find one
new firm, typically selling that firm first and then starting their subsequent
firm. An example of a serial entrepreneur is Steve Jobs.
2-Parallel entrepreneurs
Is someone who manages to run
more than one successful business at the same time.
Steve Jobs incidentally was also a parallel
entrepreneur when he was running both Pixar and Apple at the same time.
3-Non-traditional
entrepreneurs.
This include people who
create jobs for themselves in a variety of idiosyncratic ways by establishing businesses
on their own.
This often results because as
the global economy has evolved, lots of multinational corporations have significantly
redistributed the production and services to take advantage of cheaper labor.
4- Micro-entrepreneurs
Workers who need to run more
than one job at the same time to pay bills, they're doing this often to offset
difficult economic times.
