What do you think when you think of the term ‘entrepreneur?’ Well, for many of us, the word has become sour. We think of those who aggressively market ‘their new book’ on Instagram, despite having almost no business experience to show or talk through. The truth is that on social media, acting and presenting yourself as an entrepreneur can often be just as celebrated as acting in an authentic capacity. In fact, the latter individual is often someone who is celebrated much less, due to their lack of time to promote themselves on Instagram, instead diverting their time towards constructive pursuits.

And yet, it would be nice if we could shine a light on those kinds of entrepreneurs, those that have substance and weight to them and find themselves in many kinds of personal classifications. Let us see what those might be, and how we might both appreciate and learn more about what they do. But more than everything, let us consider how you yourself might follow in their footsteps:

Business Supply

Businesses that supply stationary, paper, or logistics to other firms are not often seen as ‘romantic’, but are incredibly necessary and often very lucrative all the same. There’s no reason to think that to become a success you have to interface with the public. Involving yourself in business supply could be a real game changer – and instead of selling a customer a disposable product, you can help with the systemic support a company needs. This means that through your own entrepreneurialism, you might find that you provide sustenance to many others just like you. Now, that has to feel good.

Franchising

Just because you make not have originated the business source yourself, it does not mean you are any less worthy of calling yourself a business owner in this case. For example, running a tax preparation franchise could help you ensure many are able to meet their tax record demands at the end of the business year, to help calculate their needs effectively. It might also be that through a restaurant chain you are able to branch out and potentially use that as the launching pad for your own ambitions one day. If you can make a success of it, utilising brand familiarity can be a great thing.

Consulting

It might be that you already have real experience in a kind of business setting, and thus wish to run your own firm consulting for many other people. The more you do this, the better you may use your insight to quite literally help other companies flourish, while building an excellent reputation for yourself. On top of that, contract work such as this can be extremely varied and rewarding, and shows you have made a success on your own initiative. It can feel scary to begin, but with care and discipline can be tremendously worth it.

With these tips – you’re certain to be the right kind of entrepreneur for you.
