Linda Ellis, the owner and founder of Linda’s Lyrics, LLC, as well as author of world-famous poem The Dash, fits the precepts of a 2005 economic study which indicated that successful entrepreneurs often benefit from a variety of educational and work experiences in their past, as well as having a wide-ranging social network to inform their efforts.
The entrepreneur has been linked to the values of sea piracy in that both professions may essentially be inspired by an amoral approach to business model creation and education. While this notion would appear to be at polar opposites from the values and views of a poet, Ellis does not necessarily have to squeeze into a single definition of the effective business startup owner. The Darwinian entrepreneur, for instance, may be one who has an ability to recognize evolution, or change, in the business environment and step in to take advantage of it, even at the expense of the creative destruction that evolution brings.
The Communitarian entrepreneur relies upon the consumer drive of a community of like-minded people who subscribe to the same values and goals as the product of the entrepreneur, while the Missionary entrepreneur relies upon a core purpose beyond the making of money as defined by Randy Komisar, the author of The Monk and the Riddle. The Missionary entrepreneur as defined by Komisar has a larger goal: building a sustainable company which has the ability to make the desired impact and accomplish a greater purpose.
Linda Ellis may be said to fall in this latter category, while benefiting from the communitarian values of her market target group.
