I wrote this because he wants me to describe him in 500 words for his assignment.
First of all, let me start who is the man that I will describe. His name is Marlou, he’s my friend since high school, 3rd year high school to be exact. He is fun to be with, a happy go lucky man who is capable of making everybody around him laugh. When his friends have issues, he is always in between helping his friends to clear whatever issues they have. He loves music. He has wild imagination, especially when it comes to girls.
Girls, lets talk about girls in his life. He likes girl friends with benefits, a typical lover playboy in the Philippines; he is most attracted to hot girls, well all boys are attracted to hot girls. However, There are two major girls that I have known who has a big impact to his love life. The first one was way back 4th year high school; I guess I should not mention her name because it might cause a major flash back to marlou. The second was this year only 2010. I wont tackle anymore the details because someone might kill me if I do so.
Marlou as a friend, Who is he? he is a really good friend. He has a lot of friends; he’s fun to be with because he makes everybody laugh with his joke. He has sense of humor; we can talk like for hours because of his humor, he brings out topics that are beyond my imagination. Maybe I should stop giving positive description about him because he might be so overconfident right now reading this article. He influenced me to do bad things such as lying to my parents so that we can play DOTA all night(peace). He is my friend anyway I don’t care how weird he is or how stupid he is, what matters is that I trust him as a friend.
He do whatever he wants, he is just living his as young and stupid student of University of Southeastern Philippines..

Well that’s according to my friend Jason.. please ignore some of the description above. I am just simply adventurous. Is he my friend ?
.So okay let’s start on what I am when it comes to technopreneurship. Last August 14, 2010 we had this Personal Traits Test, and that’s to test if we have this capability on being a technopreneur, and I am clustered in somewhat entrepreneurial. This discussion about being a technopreneur started on Bill gates and Steve jobs. I am not in my mind today so I will classify Steve being an entrepreneur.
Steve jobs being an entrepreneur. He possesses traits that are very entrepreneurial. Here are the factors that contributed on the success and failure of steve jobs as a technopreneur.
“Basing on the movie the Pirates of the silicon valley. The factors that contributed to the success of steve jobs are Namely; friends, an open minded one, a goal, and is not afraid of risking things. These factors mainly are the ones that contributed to the success of Steve jobs. Why?
First of all he had his friends, his friends are also his teammates when he is still planning to have this company. Naming his friend Stephen Gary Wozniak.
Now talking bout “Woz” .. Stephen Gary "Woz" Wozniak (born on August 11, 1950 in San Jose, California) is an American computer engineer who co-founded Apple Computer, Inc. (now Apple Inc.) with Steve Jobs and Ronald Wayne. His inventions and machines are credited with contributing significantly to the personal computer revolution of the 1970s. Wozniak created the Apple I and Apple II computers in the mid-1970s.
Wozniak has several nicknames, including "The Woz", "Wonderful Wizard of Woz" and "iWoz"
(a reference to the ubiquitous naming scheme for Apple products). "WoZ" (short for "Wheels of Zeus") is also the name of a company Wozniak founded. He is sometimes known as the "Other Steve" of Apple Computer, the better known Steve being co-founder Steve Jobs.
Second one is being an open minded. Steve jobs is a unique type of person. For he view things differently. He thinks indifferently with his own views not knowing that this view is kinda different and quite unique. According to Woz basing on the movie.
Third is the goal. Steve had this goal in life, and that’s to defeat the “IBM”. It’s quite funny that he dedicated all his life in having the apple company not noticing that gates is on it’s way topping it all along. Well gates is a different story. Talking bout Steve’s goal is quite interesting it’s because he thinks big and through this kind of thinking his goals are inevitable.
Fourth is the factor “not afraid of risking things”. Steve is very good at this, he designs and thinks the risky way and in fact he treats others differently. He risk things depending on what he thinks, he does not value things as long as you’re of no use. He can easily reject things, ideas, people, etc.. if it is of no use. But he is good in valuing friends.
Now factors that contributed to the failure of Steve jobs as a technopreneur. Well there are factors that I can site, Steve jobs had this bold character and these are character issues I can site on his failure as a technopreneur . Namely being a self-centered one, inattentive, perfectionist.
Now let’s have this character issues, first is being a self-centered one. Steve jobs is a self-centered person in the movie and that contributed to his failure, but the question is did he “FAIL?”. Let’s have that hanging on you’re thoughts.. moving on, Steve having this self-centered character is a very bad character. It’s because he is engrossed on his own affairs only. We can call it greedy in general. Maybe it’s the fact that he don’t have his mom in life. Maybe that’s what bothers him most of the time, and it sprawls while he grew up but is unnoticeable. Well to have a solution on this is to have oneself a change.
Second is inattentive or let’s have this as introspective. In my own thoughts Steve had this introspective character that he pays too much attention on his own that he forget others and also please remember that if you’re being introspective you are having this self examination and in this moment you are self-centered so introspective is somewhat related to being self-centered. Steve’s is quite different, because at all times I think he is bothered bout what he can do and what he really is, and that’s the reason why he acts the unusual way. He does not pay attention on others or his surroundings. The doesn’t even know that the environment he is in is criticizing him. In real time all I can say is when you don’t have you’re parents, you will definitely have you’re friends, I am hoping that you can see my point now in having friends as a factor of Steve’s being a successful one in being a technopreneur.
Third is being a perfectionist, well what can I say.. If you’re one then go to hell. Having this trait is not good. In this imperfect world looking for a perfect one ?.. What are you ? Right ? But if you’ll look at each other’s differences and have that differences a reason to be a perfect one then you’ll carry on. I’m afraid I am a perfectionist too, but I am trying to change it or eradicate it. “

Compared to what Steve Jobs and Bill Gates have. I think I have some of this qualities.. Also I can present to you the 9 types of Entrepreneurs or Technopreneurs.
“Here are the 9 types of entrepreneurs: (which I consider as kinds of technopreneurs too.)
1. The Improver: If you operate your business predominately in the improver mode, you are focused on using your company as a means to improve the world. Your overarching motto is: morally correct companies will be rewarded working on a noble cause. Improvers have an unwavering ability to run their business with high integrity and ethics.
2. The Advisor: This business personality type will provide an extremely high level of assistance and advice to customers. The advisor's motto is: the customer is right and we must do everything to please them. Companies built by advisors become customer focused.
3. The Superstar: Here the business is centered around the charisma and high energy of the Superstar CEO. This personality often will cause you to build your business around your own personal brand.
4. The Artist: This business personality is the reserved but highly creative type. Often found in businesses demanding creativity such as web design and ad agencies. As an artist type you’ll tend to build your business around the unique talents and creativities you have.
5. The Visionary: A business built by a Visionary will often be based on the future vision and thoughts of the founder. You will have a high degree of curiosity to understand the world around you and will set-up plans to avoid the landmines.

In this classifications I can say I am a visionary.. That’s what I think I am, because I have observed for years. I am always looking forward and tries to avoid possible problems. To elaborate more about being a visionary..
“1. A visionary entrepreneur imagines life beyond his current state. This state could be described as the vicious cycle or the rat race. Or it could be as simple as working for someone else. Regardless of his present situation, a visionary entrepreneur sets his sights on “more life.” Elena Fawkner wrote an excellent article that explains the correlation between vision, dreams and entrepreneurship.
2. A visionary entrepreneur envisions her business as a finished product. Then she sets out to build what she has imagined. She lays the foundation, builds the frame work and then puts the finishing touches on what she has built. Her vision inspires her to jump over each hurdle that she approaches. If you want more information on building a business, I highly recommend.”
3. Visionary entrepreneurs are people of passion and vision who simply can’t sit back and wait for the world to just turn out. They’re propelled by an unseen force to go for it with gusto … to co-create a vibrant new world. “
