Conclusions

This journey through seven different types of entrepreneurships hopefully expands our image of what an entrepreneur is and how this person operates in the world. While I have identified differences in strategy for each entrepreneurial type, I have also suggested that there are certain common features in reflecting on one’s own entrepreneurial perspectives and practices. The balance between challenge and support is crucial. Entrepreneurs often lose themselves in the midst of their work. They must find their way back home and the way back to their true self. There are so many ways to fail as an entrepreneur and so few ways to win—but the wins are exhilarating. Learning along the way is breathtaking for all involved.
