As an Entrepreneurial Dreamer you are generally quite perceptive and basically familiar with business problems in general. You do lack a few of the basics in entrepreneurship, as well as some of the necessary resources for the Entrepreneurial Success Script. You may also have a sense that your entrepreneurial knowledge should be paying off by now, but you’re still not seeing the money. Your response to this realization might be “one of these days I'll get out there on my own”. Based on your current abilities and expertise as an Entrepreneurial Dreamer, this could be disastrous if you proceed without first working to enhance your expertise.
It is possible that some past failed business ventures which didn't survive their first year resulted from your attempts to “get out of the nest”. The value of these experiences, however, should not be overlooked. Sometimes this may result from an Entrepreneurial Dreamer being pushed by a significant other, to make good on those often-expressed dreams. Until Entrepreneurial Dreamer undertake an active program to improve their entrepreneurial expertise they will be more comfortable letting others do the venturing and thereby experience a lot less trauma.

“Walt” Disney (1901 – 1966) was an American animator, film producer , and international icon, whose fingerprints on the entertainment industry can still be seen 45 years after his death. Disney’s entrepreneurial profile was clearly an Entrepreneurial Dreamer.
Walt began as a young professional in the newspaper and advertising industries but after a few years he decided to venture out on his own. He worked at and owned several small production houses, but each failed due to his lack of a basic entrepreneurial success ‘script’ and poor money management skills. Walt’s strengths, however, were his creativity and an ability to draw other talented people to him and his dreams. It was his brother Roy who understood the success ‘script’ and together they founded the Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio in 1923. Today The Walt Disney Company is the largest entertainment conglomerate in America.
