is a "visualizer and an actualizer", who sees something new and knows how to make it happen.

This wonderful breed moves unencumbered by the preconceptions of "how things are done" that can limit vision and lock into routines. Enjoying extraordinary perspective, they prepare deliberately to welcome change and seize opportunities. Entrepreneurs' boundless imagination and energy are coupled with exceptional need to innovate as they continually adapt new solutions to old problems. Through ingenuity and determination they enable these new approaches then drive them forward, transforming "what if" into "what is". Change becomes their constant, growth a necessity, and yesterday's success never quenches the thirst for today's advance. Ingenuity is stoked by freshness of spirit, perception and confidence, as they declare:

"This is good - but I can make it better"
