“hackathons,”          programming           competitions          where
                                  contestants  solve  algorithmic-based  problem  statements.
                                  There’seven a Hacker Cup with cash prizes awarded to the
                                  winners.



                                  The Outlaw archetype loves to break the rules. It’s probably
                                  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.
