Late Night Entrepreneur (10% Entrepreneur) The Start!
Updated: Jan 28, 2021
A 10% entrepreneur or as I love to call it Late night entrepreneur (LNE) is somebody who spends at least 10% of their time and, if possible, 10% of their money, investing, advising, starting, getting involved with new ventures.
For example, someone who works in a laboratory and runs a company on sustainable water bottles in the evening from which she earns money. But also, two friends who both went to work for a large energy company and in the evening are devising the contours of their start-up for a local energy storage.
When it starts running, they will quit and go full throttle. And to be 10% entrepreneur (late night entrepreneur) you should understand the triangle for this equation (the type, the way, the plan) Let's start with the first part the type.
