Not every entrepreneur gets into business for the same reasons. Some want to make a lot of $. Some see an opportunity and go for it. Some generate tons of ideas and want to see one (or more) come alive. And a growing number of entrepreneurs come to it accidentally.
Habitual Entrepreneurs: They start out with a goal is to own a business. They often care less what the business does, as long as it’s a successful company. They have strong business goals. They may own many companies in their career. They are proud to call themselves entrepreneurs.
Accidental Entrepreneurs: They are not satisfied with the corporate culture. They are passionate about a particular belief and have a very strong worldview. They often start out doing something they enjoy with no initial ambition to start a company. Accidental entrepreneurs often describe taking the leap of being self-employed as taking the power back after not being satisfied working for someone else because they had to follow someone else’s culture and rules. They love that in creating their own business they got to be in full control of it and their lives as well. They are proud to define themselves by their passions, causes and beliefs. The ranks of accidental entrepreneur are growing.
