YOU MAY BE A MACRO-ENTREPRENEUR

A macro-entrepreneur is highly driven. They see their involvement with their businesses or their positions as the primary vehicle for pursuing self-actualization. They may be found in a corporate environment, but the strength of their entrepreneurial drive will be so strong that they may feel frustrated by the confines of a managerial hierarchy. Disproportionately, they tend to establish their own firms or ventures, growing those firms, taking those firms public, striving to dominate a market. Because their drive for self-actualization is bound up with their ventures, success is measured in terms of growth and profits of the business. Their interest is not truly monetary; rather, they see growth in profits and sales as a convenient scorecard to measure success. They truly want to dominate the arena in which they find themselves. Their lives are a constant striving for dominance. They have one thing in common: a dream, a dream to create, a dream to change, a dream to make the world different. Macroentrepreneurs will be innovative and creative and will be constantly striving to find new ways to translate their dreams: into new products, new markets, new industries, new heights of growth; into new challenges, new frontiers, new expressions, new insights.

Macroentrepreneurs truly are those that "see what is not there" and make that vision a successful reality. They intuit potential and are able to turn those dreams into successful businesses. They do not accept the adage that is cannot be done, but rather take the road that says "Get out of my way and watch me do it!" They tend to like risks and don't mind "betting the farm" on the chance of success.

Examples of Macroentrepreneurs may be Ted Turner or Bill Gates.

this is what i ended up with Serial Entrepreneur

Serial entrepreneurs love the idea of starting businesses, but are not so enthralled with the concept that a specific business holds them captivated. Serial entrepreneurs tend to see opportunities and take the chances. Their vision is more of what may be there and how can they enhance what they are doing. They look at vertical and horizontal integration and often create other businesses which can support their existing business. They may be seen to take risks, but they feel that they are calculated risks in that they have proven one concept and it is "intuitively obvious" that the concepts which follow will complement each other. They often become very successful as do the macroentrepreneurs, but they tend not to change the world but make theirs better.

Serial entrepreneurs prove concepts rather then create them. They see and recognize opportunities, they don't create them. They take calculated risks and they are very successful, often as successful as our macroentrepreneurs.

Examples of Serial Entrepreneurs may be Jeff Bezos and Steve Jobs.

YOU MAY BE A ENTREPRENEUR
Entrepreneurs have a great deal of their self-perception bound up in their businesses or positions, but they are not as consumed by entrepreneurial drive. They will be interested in profits and growth. The key is that entrepreneurs will have a high standard of success, but as soon as they achieve the level they require, they will shift focus outside the business. They will seem to be pursuing profit and growth, but that pursuit will fall short of the single mindedness of the macroentrepreneur. Entrepreneurs will be innovative, but they are more likely to pursue enhancements to established products, services and procedures, rather than seek totally new approaches. Enhancements are safer and less likely to disrupt the steady climb to perceived success which is so important to entrepreneurs. No two entrepreneurs are the same, but they all have one thing in common: their dreams. Theirs are dreams of recognition and advancement, dreams of wealth and admiration.

Entrepreneurs are the those who create and grow their businesses into success, but they tend to be those businesses for which there is a market. They do not create markets, nor necessarily expand their market, but rather become a force within the one in which they find themselves. They have the confidence that they "know their concept will work". It is not a risk when you have the confidence and knowledge. Knowledge and self-confidence are the hallmarks of successful entrepreneurs.

Many entrepreneurs may create and/or purchase franchises. The element of risk is much lower in that environment, but many feel that the aspect of "having your own business" is the same. Many franchisees or receivers of distributorships have the ability to look at their businesses as their own with what they perceive as "help getting started". Many of these businesses are also very successful for both parties.

Examples may be those wealthy business people in your own home towns and communities who are still working in their business and enjoying the "perceived accolades of others."
