The type of entrepreneur you are determines how well your business will do.

What Are The Types of Entrepreneurs?

The Innovator
The Regular
The Inventor

How Do You Tell Your Type?
Pretty simple.

You tell by identifying the basic features of each type.

After which you compare your entrepreneurial qualities to the features of each class.

This exercise helps you discover your entrepreneur type in no time.

Let the exercise begin. Below is a clear description of each type.

1) The Innovator Entrepreneur:

As an innovator, you introduce a new way of doing something. And then turns this new way of doing something into a profitable business. Compare this to the academic Innovator. First is the introduction of a new idea or thing in a journal. Then the long wait follows. The long wait is when someone practical picks up the ideas. Then works day and night to make it usable. Two classes of innovators exist. The specialist innovator and the execution-driven innovator

1a) The Specialist Innovator

As a specialist innovator, you spend your career in one industry. One unique feature of the specialist innovator is apprenticeship. As an apprentice, you spend many years under a master. During this period, y ou hone your skills and polish them to a shine. Because of the long apprentice years, many Nigerians hate this type.
In Nigeria, examples of the specialist innovator exist. One is the knowledge entrepreneur. These types are experts in technical fields. Fields like software development, medicine, engineering or accounting. Second is the skilled entrepreneur. These types are the skilled artisans and traders who spent many years learning the trade. For a third, there is the spiritual entrepreneur. These types spend many years under a spiritual mentor. Then set up a ministry after identifying a clear spiritual need. Many Pentecostal pastors made it this way.

1b) The Execution-driven Innovator

As an execution-driven innovator, you are super practical. First you look out for some profitable problems in the society. Next, you sift through a mass of possible solutions to these problems. Your goal at this stage is to make a choice from what is out there. During this selection phase, you reject most of the existing solutions. Settling for one that is feasible. The final lap is to get so many people to adopt this solution. If done well, your business becomes super successful. A living example is the richest African, Aliko Dangote.

2) The Regular Entrepreneur

This is the most popular type of entrepreneurs in Nigeria. As a regular entrepreneur, you run an undifferentiated business. You’re in business to make some money, not to solve any specific problem. Regular entrepreneurs are of two types. One is the copyist/imitator entrepreneur. The other is the bureaucratic entrepreneur.

2a) The Copyist/Imitator

As an imitator, you have less mental stress. You copy to the last detail what works for others. You bring zero of your own ideas to the business of making money. Sadly, most entrepreneurs in Nigeria are imitators. Perhaps this stems from a failed education system. A system where passing an exam depends on your ability to copy the ideas of your professors word-for-word. There is a popular cliché for this. Garbage in, garbage out. What works are what the professor say. Nothing more. In such a system, to explore contrary ideas is to court an “F”. And many with this flawed thought process go on to start businesses.

There are more examples of the imitator types than any other type. Super markets springing up everywhere like weeds. Importers of cheap products from China. Mushroom churches with no clear spiritual differentiator. Friends selling undifferentiated commodity on their Whatsapp status.
The competition in this class is super crazy. To keep up, most entrepreneurs use dodgy practices. Going from problem solvers to common criminals.

2b) Bureaucratic Entrepreneurs:

This type belong to the group of “what worked in the past will work in the future.” As a bureaucratic entrepreneur, your main worry is how stable the industry is. You avoid any opportunity with too much risk. What matters to you is a stable return on investment. You follow a set of standard rules to get a set of standard results.

This is the regular path for Nigerians with a little money to their name. The focus here is to grow wealth little by little. Problem solving is not what they think about.

Examples of this class of entrepreneurs? Vendors or contractors to large corporations. Traders in organized markets like Alaba. Franchisees (people running a business under a successful brand name). Major distributors for FMCG companies. Salary earners investing in mutual funds and treasury bills. Rural and semi-urban farmers using basic farming tools.

3) The Inventor Entrepreneur
It is hard or impossible to find an entrepreneur inventor. To make sense of this, think about this. Nigeria has 4 billionaires, but none has a patent to his name. Nor is there a popular product not patented by any of them. The richest entrepreneur in the world, Jeff Bezos, has 46 patents to his name. The richest entrepreneur in Nigeria, Aliko Dangote, has zero patents to his name.
There are many examples of inventors who are successful business owners. But because few are Nigerians, I’ll skip.

Conclusion

Now you know the types. What type of entrepreneur should you be in Nigeria? Pretty simple. It depends on a number of factors. Top of which is your education, experience, network, and capital base.

What I think? If you’re young, you can’t go wrong or broke as a specialist entrepreneur. Just choose a sector you can master in a few years. Then let the 10,000-hour rule do the magic.

Have you made the wrong choice? Is your entrepreneur type not helping you grow your business? Unlike your genotype that is set in your DNA at birth, you can still make changes.

A popular Chinese proverb says, “The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.”

Wow. This is well-written and on point.

I'm a specialist innovator. We'll get to the top one day!

Add me, please. 09070038285

MavenMykael:
Am an Alumni of oou, i could categorically say when it comes to the schl Calendar it use to be very slow but it all changed whn Saburi becme the VC (now Ex their is a new one now).But currently it's one of the best ... No unnecessary delay anymore..
Quality of the lecture is relatively okay as well, Tuition fee is what i have no idea for MBA...

Okay. Many thanks!

Hi guys,

I'm considering OOU for an MBA.

I just need a few heads up from people who are knowledgeable about the school.

✓ What's the tuition fee for the 2 years the MBA would last?

✓ Is the quality of lectures decent?

✓ Is the pace of the program good (I don't want to spend 4 years for a two-year part time program)?

Please help me. This is really urgent. Thanks

Hi guys,

Any info on running an MBA at Olabisi Onabanjo University?

I want to register this year, can any one share relevant experience?

graciously03:
Thank you very much.. Just got my reviewed cv and it's wonderful... Thanks again

You're welcome graciously03...

I've sent to some other people, too. A little thank you isn't bad, though.

If you've not gotten yours, just hang on.

I promised this week and y'all will get it as promised.

Stay safe!!!

Hi guys,

Keep it coming. I have only 5 more to go.

If you haven't sent your CV, please send it to my email now.

I'll review all and send out to everyone a professional-looking CV, complete with cover letter.

Y'all will get it this week.

Cheers!!!

A cluttered CV doesn't only stop you from getting a job interview.

It stops you from progressing beyond the interview.

Make your CV stand you out.

Keep it coming. Once I've 50 mails, I'm closing the offer.

"It is not what you know, but how you present what you know"...

For the first 50 people to contact me, you'll get a professional CV and 5 job-tailored cover letters.

Why am I doing this?

For one, I want to help. Knowing what works and what doesn't is the difference between the gainfully employed and the job seeker. I remember my assessment center at KPMG. One of the interviewers said, "your CV is concise and informative." I got the job. You, too, can.

For a second, it is my own little way of giving back to society. During my days in audit, I helped friends write CVs and cover letters, particularly for those making a leap from science to finance.

For a third, as an assistant manager in a chemical based company, I have reviewed tons of CVs and cover letters, and can easily point out why a particular CV makes the cut and the rest trashed...

This give-away offer will expire at the end of my leave period (2 weeks). After then, the offer remains permanently closed.

Offer is now officially closed

I have noticed a trend.

Aside dyed-in-the-wool PDP members from the South West and North, the warriors propelling Atiku are all Igbos.

Aside dyed-in-the-wool APC members, the supporters of Buhari are uneducated Northern Almajiris and South West middle class who would rather Osibanjo continued...

We are more fractured now than any time in our history...

To think that we have Moghalu and Ezekwesili on the ballot...crazy time to be a Nigerian.

Buterflyle0:
For those who do not know who Chuba Okadigbo was, he was the senate President of Nigeria from 1999 to 2000 and was popularly called the Oyi of Oyi.

A very open critic of Obasanjo who never his his disdain for him.

He was a philosopher, academic, political scientist, and writer.

He was Buharis VP in 2003 and they had so much in common. They both shared a vision of a greater, Cleaner Nigeria where everyone counts and not just the rich. This was what always put him against Obasanjo.

He died mysteriously and the rumour then was that Obasanjo Killed him.

Chuba Okadigbo remains one of our finest politicians of all time.

There is this pronounced divide between academia and practice, but Chuba dwarfed this divide...

He remains the only Nigerian political scientist who practised politics at the highest level.

And people like Chuba, Plato said something to the effect that a great country would be built when "Philosophers become kings, or kings become philosophers."

...By the way, Buhari of now remains a much altered man from the Buhari of then...

Much as I dislike the present government, Atiku is a no brainer.

By subscribing to any useless Atikulation, we are endorsing the movement of Nigeria from lifelessness to uselessness.

As an aside, Buhari has no opposition...

His media crew only has one task: link Obi to his boss, Ojukwu, then link Ojukwu to Uwazuruike, Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB...

The hatred for anything Igbo will quietly tilt Buhari's votes to a landslide...

It is obvious the election has been won and lost already. And the biggest losers remain Nigerians.

Why? Jerry Rawlings tells us, "we are in love with our oppressors."

I try not to make statements on partisan politics. But here I will take an exception because you speak from ignorance. And you are the major problem!

There are Eggs; and there are eggs. Atiku, like IBB, OBJ, GEJ, Mama Peace, and Buhari are Eggs -UNTOUCHABLES. I mean, the kids playing Monopoly in my estate know this; I am surprised you're not in the know. How old are you?

That said, the you-can't-go-to-America chanters and the provide-your-Cambridge-certificate chanters are both right. Success in opposition politics is measured by how much dirt you can dig and patch your opponent's face with. Deal with it.

As an aside, the problem with Nigeria is a problem of weak institutions, not military or entrepreneurial leaders...

We warned with proven facts against installing a leader who was a part of a failed military and paramilitary institution. No one listened. Look where we are today...

We warn again. There is a certain man who was part of the Nigeria Customs Service for 20 years. He profited (and still profiting) from the immense corruption in our public institutions. He has neither apologized nor repented. He is running for president. How would he reform our institutions?

Until youths like you stop dissipating energy on Atiku or Buhari, until you lend your mind to the worthy cause of reinventing Nigeria, until you come up with a watertight plan of kicking out these Jackals, Nigeria will remain the backwaters. And you, my friend, will keep asking USELESS QUESTIONS!

FBIL:
Which one is Olisa Agbakoba again? He has no electoral value in Igbo land. If you don't like Peter Obi, Okonjo-Iweala, Enyinnaya Abaribe, Ekweremadu or Soludo then give it to Yorubas. But these are guys that those Okada riders can die for. Theyve also run personal companies that have high employees. They can attract foreign investment genuinely.
Atiku, nobody should force you! Choose from wherever you feel like.

Were you born yesterday?

What businesses have these guys (in bold) managed?

I need answers.

How much?

Someone asked this question on Quora...

What makes you anxious every single day?


My answer.

Soccer bets.

A friend recommends a WhatsApp group called Heavy Stakers. According to him, Heavy Stakers is in the business of soccer betting: they share their thoroughly-researched soccer predictions with you for a monthly fee…

The fee is called a subscription, and once you subscribe, they consistently send you accurate soccer predictions daily…

“I make over 40% of my stake budget monthly,” he says. You pull out your checklist of red flags…

Do they have a face? Yes
Do they have experience? Yes
Are they knowledgeable? Yes

You tell yourself: experience plus knowledge equals success. You give your life to them, committing to stake 20k naira ($56) daily on matches sent to you…

9 a.m. they PM you the first game.

Al Ahly vs. Zamalek (kick off: 12 p.m Nigerian time).

Prediction: Al Ahly to win @ 1.70

You log onto the bookmaker's website, transfer the required funds, and place your bet. You smile, a perfect side hustle is the surest way to quit a corporate cubicle…

12.45 p.m. You pull out your phone and check livescores. You can't believe your eyes.

Al Ahly vs. Zamalek (3:0) First half!

You leap for joy. These guys are damn good, how did I not find them out earlier? It doesn't matter, though. Better late than never…

1.40 p.m. You are enjoying a heavy lunch, smiling more than usual. 14k ($39) just like that. More like unclean funds, but it's clean, and even if otherwise you'll pay tithe from it. God makes the red crimson white. You smile…

You pull out your phone. There you see the shocker of your life.

.

.

.

Al Ahly vs. Zamalek (3:2) 88 minutes!

You frown. Your heart starts racing, you abandon your lunch, you are praying-racing to the Gents…

Jeez, this is not happening. You close the browser, hold your phone to your chest and start praying in other tongues…

5 minutes later. You check again.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Al Ahly vs. Zamalek (3:2) Full time!

You have survived the scare of your life…

9 a.m. You have a new PM.

Newport County vs. Macclesfield Town

Prediction: New Port County to win @ 1.65

Livefreeordieha:
please be my friend...Hummm finally someone in my hemisphere...I just hope u didn't copy it.....Because the aforementioned is what has troubled me forever if we may ..

SMH. I understand your pain. Nigeria is much messed.

We have a battered trust system.

We are not who we say we are. We don't do what we say we'll do...

But you, my friend, can choose to trust today. It doesn't matter how many liars, fraudsters and scoundrels you have encountered...

Give trust a chance today, tomorrow and for ever.

The problem with Nigeria is not religion. The problem with Nigeria is Nigerians.

If you take every Nigerian to the US and bring every American to Nigeria, guess what

Nigeria will, in no time, compete with Europe for dominance in all spheres of human endeavor...

America, on the other hand, will retrogress, scrambling for a spot with Uganda or the Gambia...

The problem with Nigerians is emotions...

And wherever emotions reign supreme, reason takes flight.

A proposition: we have one of the lowest tax to GDP ratio in Africa, despite our supposed giantism.

Instead of lampooning churches at every opportunity, shouldn't we adopt a more proactive stance?

Can we not tax churches for the tithes they receive?
Ok, I know what you are thinking. It will still be embezzled...

The negative thought pattern of most Nigerians again. Whose job is it to ensure the taxes are not looted Who will protest when the embezzlers are arrested

Our religiosity is only a symptom of an underlying illness. We are the illness, and the illness is us!

JudasNaCarrot:
What does Buhari know?

The Dundee is taking Nigeria 500 years backward. Have you ever heard him talk or discuss anything about science and technology before....rather he talks much of what he knows best...cattle and archaic agricultural practices.

Mark Zuchaberg visited him in Abuja when he came to Nigeria,gave him an iPad only for this Dundee president to turn the gadget upside down and started laughing.....who didn't see it when it happened.

We can only get there when we boot out this lifeless uneducated man and elect someone who's Y2K and computer compliant.

.

It is the absolute best. No doubt.

In a Nigeria where the elites have conspired to make her youthful population nothing, we need ads like this.

Because if we want to change Nigeria for the better, if we want to obliterate our differences, if we want to become the go-to nation in Africa, we need ads that will give people hope.

...And with hope, nothing is impossible!

We believe that accepting the myopic advise of Fani-Kayode by Senator Aisha Alhassan is like the Pope accepting the advise of a Catechist on when and how to conduct Mass in the Catholic Church.


This one weak me.

What business has firewood and chewing stick?

UDP has no chill.

Ugosample:


naa

I don't think he is bitter

Well, it's okay to choose to differ.

However, I must admit I came out a little too harsh on those lines. That said, you need to understand that having prejudiced views of a person based on his tribe alone is HATE...

And all forms of hate - bitterness, acrimony, resentment and cynicism - spring from casting blames.

I only wanted to lead him away from that path...

Blames devalue a man. I'm not winning because you are losing; you are not winning because I'm losing. The sun rises for everyone in the East and sets for everyone in the West. Only some are born on hilltops, others in tunnels...

It's no one's fault. TIME and CHANCE happens.

franchasng:
yes Dangote is doing the same to kill Lafarge cement Wapco.

You can imagine French Investors in collabo with other foreign investors can't compete with Dangote in cement business in Nigeria due to Dangote using Nigerians Commonwealth to favor his personal business.

Dangote kills off competitors using government indirect funding via waivers and I'll policies.

Dangote is going into everything; from FMCGs (Dangote Sugar, Flour, Pasta, etc) to transport to cement to rice production to oil/gas to construction to anything human, why

Dangote just ventured into vehicle assembling just because he doesn't want to patronize Nigerians already into truck vehicle assembling, is that healthy for a nation

Nigerian government is dull! I don't blame them sha, its cos its been in the hands of cows and Malus and their slave

He is going into everything. And he's dominating every sector he ventures into right?

Why did he sell Dangote Noodles late last year? Any ideas since, according to you, the Nigerian government could help him become an industry leader in every sector?

Bro, don't let tribalism eat you up. There are many children of billionaires who are crack addicts abroad...

The universe presented opportunities to Dangote, he seized it and made the most of it...

Little wonder on his office table stands a plaque, "nothing is impossible." He earned his place skillfully.

I will end by suggesting you add another book to your reading list, "Moonwalking with Einstein by Foer." Try to keenly read the pages on the world's smartest man with an IQ of over 200. When you are done (I could send it to you if you don't want to buy it), quote me and tell me what became of him...

As an aside, I know you are Igbo. Let me throw a poser to you.

Do you presume our own Chimamanda Adichie would have been half as successful as she is if she hadn't been blessed with the following:

√ An eminent professor of statistics (her dad).
√ A civil servant, who patiently read stories she wrote from age six (her mom).
√ A guardian in the US (her aunt).
√ Connection to Chinua Achebe (she once lived in Achebe's house).
√ in all, a family with money, willing to spend liberally on her education.

PS: Try to read Achebe's Education of a British Protected Child.

God bless you.
