And for most of us, the word entrepreneur brings to mind a bold risk taker who sets out on his own with the hope of striking it rich and making a dream come true. He or she takes on enormous debt, hires employees, and works endless hours. John D. Rockefeller, Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, and Sam Walton were all classic and very successful entrepreneurs. Millions of other men and women who own shops, factories, restaurants, and a myriad of other small businesses are also traditional entrepreneurs. Through the creation of jobs, goods, and services, American entrepreneurs collectively built the greatest economy in world history. I have tremendous admiration and respect for these captains of industry and shudder to think where we would be without them. But most of today's home-based businesses, including mine, weren't started by traditional entrepreneurs. They were started by a new breed of entrepreneurs that I call micropreneurs. And micropreneurs usually have a different type of personality from traditional entrepreneurs. They come from different backgrounds, have different values, and go into business for totally different reasons. It's important that you understand the difference between these two types of business owners. If you're thinking, I just don't have the type of personality to go into business for myself, you may believe that you have to be a traditional entrepreneur. In today's world, that's not the case. Let's look at three major characteristics that distinguish the micropreneur from the traditional entrepreneur. The English writer Somerset Maugham wrote a story about man who worked as a janitor at St. Peter's Church in London's Neville Square until a vicar at the church learned that he was illiterate and fired him. Without a job, the man tool his small savings and started a tiny tobacco shop. Over time his business grew, and he parlayed his earnings into a chain of tobacco shops worth a small fortune.
