| considerable initiative and risk." | | | | profitable and purposeful business. I |
| | | | personally know several people who have told |
| In recent years, several versions of the work | | | | me that they feel there is something else |
| 'Entrepreneur' have been used to reflect a | | | | they should be doing instead of their regular |
| specific group of people. Most of them are | | | | nine to five jobs. Perhaps you feel the same |
| self explanatory based upon the name. Here | | | | way. Even though you may have a good job with |
| are just a few of the ones I already knew | | | | good pay, you may feel there is still |
| about or was able to find on the internet: | | | | something missing in your life. Perhaps you |
| | | | have children and would like to spend more |
| Mompreneur | | | | quality time with them. Your purpose could be |
| | | | to start a business that would allow you to |
| ParentPreneur | | | | spend that precious time with your little |
| | | | ones. This will not only enhance your life |
| Technopreneur | | | | and your kids lives but will no doubt have a |
| | | | positive affect on those who come in contact |
| Seniorpreneur | | | | with you. But first you will need to examine |
| | | | your current lifestyle as well as the |
| Elderpreneur | | | | lifestyle you desire. In this situation a |
| | | | Home Based Business would be appropriate to |
| Actor-preneur | | | | help you achieve your goal. Also, you would |
| | | | have to look at your gifts/talents, interests |
| Solo-preneur | | | | and passions to help you decide what kind of |
| | | | home based business you will start. Maybe you |
| Writer-preneur | | | | feel called to help others. There are a |
| | | | number of businesses you could start that |
| Author-preneur | | | | will afford you the opportunity to help |
| | | | others. When you desire to start a business |
| E-preneur | | | | that has meaning you must look inside |
| | | | yourself for guidance and direction. The task |
| Infopreneur | | | | of starting a business venture should not be |
| | | | taken lightly. Because of the time and energy |
| Being a mother myself I was very familiar | | | | that goes into making a business successful |
| with Mompreneur and have even read the book | | | | you would want it to be something you feel |
| that explains and discusses what a Mompreneur | | | | has purpose and meaning in your life. Also |
| is in detail. Well, one day I started | | | | you want it be something that you enjoy and |
| thinking about the many years that I have | | | | that you do well. This takes careful |
| aspired to become an entrepreneur, but I | | | | examination of your life and the things you |
| never really got anything off the ground | | | | feel passionate about. |
| because I didn't think many of the business | | | | |
| opportunities I pursued in the past would | | | | Even though a purpose for a business can be |
| have fulfilled my purpose in life. While I | | | | bad or unethical, a true Purposepreneur's |
| wasn't really sure what my purpose in life | | | | purpose is good, meaningful, and will make |
| was at that particular time, I knew in my | | | | the world a better place either directly or |
| heart there was one. So, the light bulb came | | | | indirectly. There are people who may not even |
| on and the word Purposeneur quickly came to | | | | realize they are Purposepreneur. For examples |
| mind. I knew that was the kind of | | | | many authors and musicians are |
| entrepreneur I wanted to be. I wanted to be | | | | Purposepreneurs because their words and music |
| able to make a difference the world while | | | | may inspire and motivate people in a positive |
| making a living doing something I loved and | | | | way. Hair Stylist are also Purposepreneurs |
| that had great meaning in my life. The word | | | | because people leave the place of business |
