Types Of Entrepreneurs


Broker - A "broker" is a go-between someone who helps others find the products or services they need. They may charge a percentage of the sales price of the item brokered, a flat fee, or an hourly fee. Real estate agents are perhaps the best-known type of broker, but you could be a broker for almost any kind of product or service (except those with very narrow profit margins). You could, for instance, be an auto, mortgage, business, even wine broker. If you've got a strong area of expertise or interest -- and enjoy shopping -- being a broker is a low-cost way to go into business.

Builder - One of the largest segments of entrepreneurs are self-employed contractors -- carpenters, electricians, plumbers, painters, etc. Whether you're building a whole housing development, or laying the floor in one apartment, if you enjoy seeing something be created from nothing and you have the necessary skills, being a builder may be for you.

Caretaker - Our society has a great need to have people and things taken care of, maintained, and assisted. That opens up lots of opportunities for those entrepreneurs who are patient and nurturing. If you're a person who can be consistent over time and see yourself as a helping personality, you may be the caretaking entrepreneurial type.

Creator - You may be a person with a vision -- whether it's in fashion, graphics, technology, or in any area of product or service. Creators include graphic or fashion designers, inventors, business builders, etc. Creators often need to team up with other entrepreneurs who are strong in sales or operations to help make their vision a financially viable reality.

Owner - If you've got money to invest, you might be able to put your capital to work for you. Whether you invest in stocks, real estate, vending machines, businesses, etc., being an active "owner" enables you to leverage your money into additional income without having to show up to work every day.

Seller - If you're good at sales, you should never have to go hungry. Great salespeople are always in demand. Many of them are self-employed, typically working on commission. If you're good at selling, and willing to work hard, you can earn a lot of money from sales.
