What Kind of Entrepreneur Are You? [INFOGRAPHIC]

BizSugar, the small business news sharing and discovery site, published a fun infographic on entrepreneurs and their startup management style.

BizSugar’s infographic celebrates the entrepreneur and their contributions to the global economy.  In 2005, entrepreneurs contributed 9.9 billion hours of uncompensated time to launch their businesses.  Think that’s a waste?  Think again.  Between 1977 and 2005, startups contributed an average of 3 million jobs per year, while existing firms lost 1 million jobs per year.

Three key points we found interesting:

• 110 million people between the ages of 18 and 64, from only 59 countries studied, were in the process of starting their own business
• 65% of startup entrepreneurs did not obtain a 4-year college degree
• 86% of startup entrepreneurs create their business not out of economic necessity, but for freedom of time, potential for greater wealth and respect
