Serial Entrepreneurs: Defined
These people come up with ideas and love incubating them but may or may not try to run them longer term. They:
- generate an idea a minute
- have a major case of ADD
- are easily distracted by shiny objects
- would rather generate 1 good and idea and 19 bad ones than just 1 good one
- are always thinking about the next thing
- are only excited by the possibility of what could be, not what is
- are more philosophical and theoretical
- probably shouldn’t run the companies they start for more than a few months, as they will frustrate everyone around them and get bored themselves
- are really fun at cocktail parties
- say things like “I thought of auctions online way before eBay!�
