“hackathons,” programming competitions where

safe to say that most entrepreneurs have a little Outlaw
archetype in them.
There is a great movie entitled The Pirates of Silicon Valley.
It is the story of two young entrepreneurs, Bill Gates and
Steve Jobs, and how they “pirated” the biggest new
businesses from two Rulers of the business world: IBM and
Xerox. (Google the movie, and you’ll find an 8-minute
video excerpt on YouTube that is well worth watching.)
The motto of the Outlaw is: “Rules are meant to be broken.”
The Caregiver is the archetype for those in health care,
nursing homes, extended care, hospice, hospitals, health
clubs, physical rehabilitation, and pharmaceuticals.
Organizations and businesses such as the Red Cross, Mayo
Clinic, United Healthcare, and Johnson & Johnson fall
under this archetype. Entrepreneurs whose gift is in health
and healing start medical practices, home healthcare
companies, biomedical companies, and senior-citizen
facilities.
The motto of the Caregiver is: “Love thy neighbor as
thyself.”
The Hero identifies with courage and is also called “the
Warrior” archetype. The military, police and firefighters fall
under this category. The Navy SEALs are definitely in this
archetype as are the New York police and firefighters
following September 11, 2001.
