Types of Entrepreneur
Four general types of entrepreneur according to Christine Miller in The
Resourceful Entrepreneur.

a. The Social Entrepreneur

This type of entrepreneur offers products and services with the overall
intention of creating social good. The profit is often reinvested into
business venture rather than being distributed to the shareholders.
b. The Serial Entrepreneur
This type of entrepreneur sets up business and brings them to a stage of
development from where they can move on to the nest project either by
selling or handling over the business to a successor or group of successors
while retaining some degree of investment.
c. The Lifestyle entrepreneur
This type would choose a business that would reflect their passion. Focus
is on doing something one loves rather than pursuing profit. The business
venture often springs from a hobby, favorite sports or family activity.
d. The Solopreneur
This type of operates alone and manages all aspects of business. Today,
this is made possible with the use of ICT tools which make multitasking
easier.

Starting Your Own Business

Starting your own business entails serious hardwork. It involves, among
others, such activities as research, planning, testing, developing, marketing
and the like.
What type of business do you want to get into? A business involves
selling a product or service both.
A product is something that is manufactured following a process, or
growth and nurtured in order to be sold for a profit.
A service is a facility supplying a public or market demand. Some
examples are hair salons offering hair care and hair styling services; bus
companies offering massages, skin care treatment, and the like.
Some salons offer both service and products, as do spas and wellness
centers. As such they earn from people availing of the services they offer and
the products they sell for care and maintenance.
 In deciding what type of business to get into, it might be good to start
with a hobby or interest. It is easier to work on something that you are
already passionate about.

You can produce something that you can offer or sell to your friends and
schoolmates.
Whatever you decide on, you have to remember to keep your costs down
while maintaining the quality of your product. Make sure to canvass and find
where you decide to produce and sell food items, purchase you ingredients in
store or market that sells fresh products.
Lastly, remember that the way the product is presented to customer
affects its saleability. Food items, in particular, must not only be attractively
packaged but more importantly, they should be protected from contaminants
and spoilage. Like other expensive items, packaging must not only be in good
quality but also cost effective.
If you do not have any particular product in mind yet, but would like to
develop one, you might want to do some research and investigation.
You can do this by observing people and their food preferences and even
checking the existing products in the local market.
 Can you see some products that you might want to produce and sell?
What are the common items, other than food, that most people buy in your
school or community? Can you make these items too?
