Looking at the careers of the highest profile, mega-successful entrepreneurs such as steve jobs, billg, sam walton, steve wynn, the googletards, etc. it appears they were type-one for years at a time. High profile type-twos tend to be much more scarce in number - richard branson and the segway guy are the biggest names I can think of. I wonder if the lower profile/less successful (but still more successful than most!) entrepreneurs that are leaders of local communities lean lopsided towards type-one as well. Using my own personal list of these low-profile entrepreneurs I can't name many type-two among them. Maybe i don't fully understand your characterization on the type-twos, but that group appears to be successful because they 1) understand how to find solid business opportunities 2) know how to place competent people as managers and 3) have quick access to capital when needed. Whereas, the type-ones seem to be more hell-bent on bringing their vision to the world. Excellent thoughts on the two types.
