A Small Business
The archetype for a small business could be “The Local Hero.” This archetype represents a small business deeply embedded in its community, often family-owned or operated by a close-knit team. The Local Hero is known for its personalized service, community involvement, and the
ability to adapt quickly to meet local needs. They take pride in their authenticity and are often seen as reliable and trustworthy pillars of the community.
An Entrepreneur
The archetype for an entrepreneurial business could be “The Visionary Pioneer.” This archetype embodies a business driven by an innovative and forward-thinking entrepreneur. The Visionary Pioneer is characterized by their boldness, willingness to take risks, and their constant pursuit of new opportunities. They are often seen as trailblazers in their industry, pushing boundaries and setting new standards. This archetype represents a business that is agile, dynamic, and constantly seeking to disrupt and revolutionize their market.
A Business in Transition
The archetype for a business in transition could be “The Phoenix Riser.” This archetype represents a business that is in the process of transformation, renewal, or recovery.
