12Enterprising is chic
www.trendwatching.com
November 2006 Gone are the days when
'entrepreneur' equaled running a small store, or
conducting shady 'import and export'
transactions. From Jones Organics to 21st century
barbershop Sharps to German Sparschwein to Danish
TrioBike to the slew of online success stories
like Flickr and Weblogs, Inc, There's an
explosion of hip, admired ventures, online and
offline, around the world (accelerated by the
tech revolution, and the truly exceptional
entrepreneurs with vision and skills that started
it a far cry from the Old Boys networks in the
past). It's Traditional Big Business that's now
often seen as unsophisticated, at best.
MINIPRENEURIALISM can actually be chic, allowing
one to think big while implementing small.

truly have a highly developed network of
intermediaries, tools, resources, and processes
at their disposal. It's an ecosystem on a much
more elaborate scale than anyone foresaw even
five years ago when entrepreneurialism was all
the rage during the .com boom. MINIPRENEURS have
access, for peanuts, if not for free, toA.
Hardware, software, ICT and skillsB. Design,
production and manufacturingC. Monetizing
existing assetsD. MarketplacesE. AdvertisingF.
Travel G. Talent, finance, payment, logistics
