New Classifications of Entrepreneur
In a world of niche advertising, marketing and brand differentiation, it is little wonder that the title of Entrepreneur has been prefixed to further define to the world not only who they are, but also the market segment and/or mission they serve.
This new way of segmenting entrepreneurs is not only a boon to marketers and consultants like myself, providing a means to segment and target our audience, but also to the legions of emerging entrepreneurs who are in need of clarity and definition of their new life’s path.
Regardless of how you choose to categorize yourself, ____preneur or entrepreneur, we look forward to seeing you at New York Entrepreneur Week in April 2010.
