The Perfect Entrepreneur

If we had the technology to build people, could we build the perfect entrepreneur?

I’ll be Dr. Frankenstein, you be Igor, ok?

Frankenstein

Let’s give this a try…

Is there a typical entrepreneur? A personality mashup that screams “this person’s an entrepreneur!”

If I was looking at myself and other entrepreneurs I know, I might say:

- borderline ego maniac
- maniacally focused on details
- occasionally suffering from manic entrepreneurship

Anyone see a trend?

Of course, there are plenty of others that aren’t like that…

So Igor, what shall we put into our perfect entrepreneur?

Let’s assume an entrepreneur is made of 100 parts. That gives us a nice round number to work with and weigh each characteristic we’re throwing in.

It’s alive! It’s alive!

How does my Perfect Entrepreneur look?

    I think “ego” is not right word.
    I am an entrepreneur. I am “emotional”.
