My work focuses on helping Entrepreneurs to build and grow their businesses, especially those dealing with software, internet or e-Commerce related businesses.

This knowledge helps me to answer important questions like:

* What are your business biases?
* How will others in the entrepreneurial eco-system perceive you?
* What are some prescriptions for filling gaps you may have?
Following is a quiz that highlights some of the key elements of the different "entrepreneur archetypes" that I've encountered. What kind are you?
Answer the questions under each type and see which one(s) resonate most deeply with why you would start a business. I include a brief commentary on each archetype. In the future, I'll publish some details on the implications of each type. Comments and suggestions are welcome!

There is one thing that all business owners, managers, and shareholders have in common, no matter where in the world we are from, we all want to make money! The methodology and the understanding of how to make money varies widely however, as a consequence my experience is that less than 20% of businesses really make an acceptable profit, which is bankable!Business is no different to a professional sporting venture in that it requires; Working as a team. Having flexible game plans. (strategies) The ability to conduct detailed analysis. Sound administration. Choosing good support.(suppliers, employees and professional advisors) Respecting and knowing your opposition. Introducing plenty of training. Playing to win.

"Is there a point here or are we just being beat by a blunt object?" One of my direct reports spewed that out like a bad dinner coming up after a night of drinking. It wasn’t the most politically correct thing to say to the McKinseyite’s leading the meeting but it was effective. It was about like tossing a hand grenade on the table. It took place during the height of our change efforts at Compaq in the mid-nineties. Change was everywhere but nothing was changing ... we were in a meeting!The number of meetings you experience will be in direct proportion to the rate of change someone is trying to drive.

I asked Kelly, my Admin Assistant, what was with all the meetings? She said calmly, "Welcome to Compaq, where we're 'Meetings R' Us'. She wasn’t kidding.
