The Technician vs The Entrepreneur

The technician is great at building stuff however this strength becomes their focus. They want to build a new product before they’ve considered how they can market and sell that product.

The entrepreneur is great at marketing and selling stuff. They first want to market and sell a product to test if the market is willing to buy it. Only then will they worry about how they’re going to build it.

Great technicians typically spend most of their life building things yet struggle to commercialise them because they aren’t focused on sales and marketing.

Great entrepreneurs typically spend most of their life pitching and selling ideas, before they settle on a handful of products worth building.

The end result is technicians are great at spending money whereas entrepreneurs are great at making it.
