Oh man, I laughed at this one!
Hey, I took the test and was a Superpreneur! Yay!
Is it me or does Subpreneur = “In Soviet Russia”?
After looking through this thread, I can’t get the word ‘preneur’ out of my head.
As near as I can tell, it means ‘taker’ in French. So an ‘entrepreneur’ is literally a ‘between-taker’: someone who sits between a seller and a buyer and takes a bit (ideally in return for connecting them).
Logically, then, a ‘superpreneur’ is a ‘super-taker’. No wonder I can quite shake the feeling of ‘scam’ on reading the OP’s excerpt from Thorn’s book.
I don’t fit in the business world. I think I would be a… non-preneur.
In that case, I’m more of a CoffeeBreakpreneur.
And, good job with that quiz, Happy!
Many years ago, my friend, Karl Hartley and I were making training videos about how to start and grow a business. I’m not sure which of us “coined the phrase,” “Superpreneur,” or if it had been ‘coined’ before, but I registered the domain www.Superpreneur.com with hopes that I (or Karl and I) could possibly build a website promoting what we thought/think Superpreneurism is.
Karl, did however, sum it up, which I still think is the BEST definition of a Superpreneur:
(Paraphrased):
“An entrepreneur works for the time value of money.”
“A Superpreneur works for the money value of time.”
