[Crowdfunding] Mantic Games & Dark Horse Announce RPG for Mignola's HELLBOY Coming to Kickstarter
by Jason Bennett August 3, 2020
HELLBOY: THE ROLEPLAYING GAME
COMING TO KICKSTARTER THIS SUMMER
Mantic Games has announced that it is partnering with Dark Horse Comics and visionary creator Mike Mignola to bring Hellboy: The Roleplaying Game to Kickstarter this summer. Hellboy: The Roleplaying Game will be a whole new way to explore the Hellboy and B.P.R.D. universe while creating your own spectacular one-off stories or action-packed chronicles.
Powered by the world's most popular RPG ruleset, Fifth Edition, Hellboy: The Roleplaying Game gives you the tools to step into the shoes of a B.P.R.D. agent, ready to face the forces of evil. You can become a field researcher skilled in the study of the occult, a hard-nosed B.P.R.D. security agent, a rookie with hidden supernatural powers, and more…. The choice is yours.
Developed by Red Scar Publishing, Hellboy: The Roleplaying Game is being led by ENnie Award-winning writer and game developer Marc Langworthy, who has worked on Mutant Chronicles 3rd Edition Roleplaying Game, Judge Dredd & The Worlds of 2000 AD Roleplaying Game,and the Conan: Adventures in An Age Undreamed Of Roleplaying Game.
Once the Kickstarter launches, you will be able to try the roleplaying game for yourself with a detailed quickstart that features six pre-generated characters, all the rules needed to play, and a unique adventure inspired by the Hellboy graphic novels, written by Red Scar.
"We can't wait to bring Hellboy back to Kickstarter," said Ronnie Renton, CEO of Mantic Games. "The roleplaying game is going to be a fantastic new way to experience Hellboy on the tabletop. The team at Red Scar has done an amazing job of capturing the feel of the Hellboy universe. Plus, your miniatures from Hellboy: The Board Game will be compatible with the RPG, which will bring a whole new lease of life to your awesome mini collection."
Mantic Games launched Hellboy: The Board Game on Kickstarter in 2018 and raised almost two million dollars during the campaign. The board game is a co-operative experience in which players face off against some of the comic's most famous foes. Up to four people take control of iconic B.R.P.D. members––Hellboy, Abe Sapien, Liz Sherman, and Johann Kraus––before exploring gothic locations, uncovering ancient artefacts, and battling one of Hellboy's most notorious foes, Rasputin! After launching at retail last year, the game is now available in multiple languages (French, Italian, Portuguese, and Russian) and is on its fourth reprint after selling out worldwide.

About Mike Mignola:
Mike Mignola's fascination with ghosts and monsters began at an early age; reading Dracula at age twelve introduced him to Victorian literature and folklore, from which he has never recovered. Starting in 1982 as a bad inker for Marvel Comics, he evolved into a not-so-bad artist. By the late 1980s, he'd begun to develop his unique graphic style, with mainstream projects like Cosmic Odyssey and Batman: Gotham by Gaslight. In 1994, he published the first of many Hellboy series through Dark Horse, leading to many spinoffs, prose books, animated films, and two live-action films. Along the way he worked on Francis Ford Coppola's film Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992), Disney's Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001), and with director Guillermo del Toro on Blade II (2002), Hellboy (2004), and Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008). A new Hellboy film by Neil Marshall arrived April 2019. Mike's books have earned numerous awards and are published in a great many countries. He lives in Southern California with his wife, daughter, and cat.

[Comic Book News] Dark Horse Announces Three New Mignolaverse Titles
by Jason Bennett July 19, 2018
Dark Horse Celebrates the 25th Anniversary
of Hellboy's First Appearance at San Diego Comic-Con
with New Mignolaverse Announcements
In 1993, legendary comic book creator Mike Mignola's most famous creation, Hellboy, first appeared in a four page, black and white story in San Diego Comic-Con Comics #2, months ahead of his full issue comic book debut in Hellboy: Seed of Destruction. Co-published by Dark Horse Comics, this story introduced one of the most beloved comic book characters in history and launched what would become known as the Mignolaverse — the strange, shared universe of comic books and graphic novels, comprised of acclaimed titles including Hellboy and the B.P.R.D., Abe Sapien, B.P.R.D., Frankenstein Underground, Lobster Johnson, The Visitor: How and Why He Stayed and Witchfinder.
RELATED: Dark Horse Comics Announces Exclusives & Programming for SDCC 2018
25 years later, Mignola is once again returning as a Special Guest to Comic-Con International: San Diego 2018, where the convention will celebrate the 25th anniversary of that first 4-page story by including the historic story in their 2018 Souvenir Book. The story, which previously had been published with colors by acclaimed colorist Matt Hollingsworth, will now be colored by Eisner Award-winning colorist and longtime Mignola collaborator Dave Stewart and will appear alongside an all new interview with Mignola and Jed W. Keith. In addition, Mignola and Stewart have created an all new cover for the San Diego Comic-Con International Events Guide. And now, Dark Horse Comics is announcing three new Mignolaverse comic books, which further expand and enrich the epic story that has been entertaining fans around the world for two and a half decades.
Creator Mike Mignola
"From the beginning I knew Hellboy was going to be a book about monsters fighting monsters," said Mignola. "I started off with a 4-page teaser about a shabby dog at a gas station turning into the Egypian god Anubis, and since I got away with that I just kept going—the Baba Yaga, the Penanggalan, demonic Mexican wrestlers, Irish goblins, flying Japanese heads—there's a whole world of monsters out there, so still plenty of work for Hellboy to do."
The three new titles, which Dark Horse Comics will publish in 2018, span the globe and showcase very different corners of the Mignolaverse — the occult cold war escalates in Hellboy and the B.P.R.D.: 1956; Lobster Johnson's biggest foe, the Crimson Lotus, is featured in her first ever, eponymous mini-series; and the annual Hellboy Winter Special features festive and supernatural stories from Mike Mignola and Ben Stenbeck, Tonci Zonjic, Fábio Moon and Gabriel Bá.
The three new titles are:
Crimson Lotus
(5-issue miniseries)
Writers: Mike Mignola, John Arcudi
Artist: Mindy Lee
Colorist: Michelle Madsen
Cover Artist: Tonci Zonjic
Issue 1 on sale date: 11/21/2018
Before she became Lobster Johnson's biggest foe, the Crimson Lotus was a young girl whose family was caught up in the Russo-Japanese war. Thirty years later, the Lotus exacts her revenge with terrifying international ramifications, and two spies must try to chase her through China before they become flies in her web.
Hellboy and the B.P.R.D.: 1956
Writers: Mike Mignola, Chris Roberson
Artists: Yishan Li, Mike Norton, Michael Avon Oeming
Cover Artist: Dave Johnson
Pressure is mounting within the bureau to uncover the Soviets' secret plans, but a suspicious cover-up leads one agent off the radar in search of answers. Meanwhile, demonic Soviet occult leader Varvara pushes her team to follow her own whims, and Hellboy is sent on the mission that would lead to his infamous misadventures in Mexico. But even more clandestine plots are at work—both inside the B.P.R.D. and out. Three different storylines are interwoven in this espionage saga.
Hellboy Winter Special 2018
Writers: Mike Mignola, Fábio Moon, Gabriel Bá, Tonci Zonjic
Artists: Fábio Moon, Gabriel Bá, Tonci Zonjic, Ben Stenbeck
Cover Artists: Mike Mignola, Fábio Moon, Gabriel Bá, Tonci Zonjic
On sale date: 12/12/2018
Three wintery tales featuring a Mike Mignola and Ben Stenbeck team-up about a New Year's Eve séance gone wrong when Hellboy visits a family's English home, Fábio Moon and Gabriel Bá revisit B.P.R.D.: Vampire with a new tie-in story, and Tonci Zonjic returns to write and draw Lobster Johnson.
Acclaim for Mike Mignola's HELLBOY:
"Since introducing Hellboy in March of 1994, Mike Mignola has built a huge comic-book universe around the character on par with what Stan Lee and Jack Kirby accomplished in the Silver Age of Marvel Comics.. . . Each new visual is like a master class in establishing mood, and Mignola's skill increases as he refines his line, proving that less is more when it comes to his pulp-inspired fantasy horror universe." — THE AV CLUB
"Iconic." — ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
"Lots of comic-book adventurers have made splashy debuts over the last twenty years but none have had the lasting appeal of Hellboy." — KOTAKU

CosplayInterview
[Interview] Cosplay Spotlight – Black Zero Cosplay
by Reptile June 12, 2018
written by Reptile
Black Zero Cosplay is a midwest cosplayer with over 10 years of experience and two Wizard World Chicago wins under his belt. His first cosplay was a Mandalorian and he has only gotten better since.
Reptile: Let me start by saying thank you for agreeing to do this interview.
You and I met a while back quite by accident at C2E2, a number of years ago. We were both cosplaying the Guardians of the Galaxy characters and I have to say your Star Lord portrayal is what first got me following you on Facebook.
For our readers, tell me how long have you been interested in cosplaying and when did you start building your own gear?
Sam (Black Zero Cosplay): Oh God, that would be over 13 years ago now. I was there when cosplay wasn't even a word people threw around. I've always made my own Halloween costumes and things ever since I was little but it was around the age of 12 that I got really inspired by Boba Fett from Star Wars and started to want to be him, to make my own Star Wars costume. And then it just escalated quickly from there.
Reptile: I know you have also participated in the Crown Championship Cosplay Contest at C2E2, what can you tell me about that experience, and go ahead and brag on your win with your Vulture cosplay.
Sam (Black Zero Cosplay): (Quick note: it was Wizard World Chicago) haha well if you insist. I won twice actually, my first time was as Armored Batman from Batman V Superman and my second was Vulture from Spiderman: Homecoming. And I'll say the obvious thing…it's surreal. You stand in line for hours as hundreds of people walk the stage. You get to the curtain, they call your name, and everything goes blank. I always kind of wake up at the other side of the stage and ask people how I did. You only get 10 seconds maybe to sell it and my brain is so overloaded it stops recording haha. Then when I won and they called my name, I froze. I couldn't believe it, my friend had to shove me to get me going.
Reptile: When you have a big convention coming up and you have to prepare for it; are you the procrastinator and do the con crunch panic building sessions, or are you more of a plan ahead and get your stuff ready with breathing room type of guy?
Sam (Black Zero Cosplay): It's a terrible way to operate but I am the con crunch type of guy. I'm talking 8am to 3am the week before the con. But I always get it done, did Batman in 31 days, finished Vulture with a 12 foot wingspan in 20. Thank God for Redbull.
Reptile: I have seen you and your lovely girlfriend cosplaying together; did you meet her while cosplaying or at a cosplay event, and if so what did you do to get her attention?
Sam (Black Zero Cosplay): This is my favorite question to get asked because it's so damn perfect. I was in line for the Wizard World Chicago costume contest dressed at Batman and we ended up next to each other. She is a huge Batman fan so she saw me, and then saw me win it and the rest is history. It was like a quarterback scoring a game winning touchdown and getting noticed by the cheerleader but the geek version haha. And she is a cosplay powerhouse herself so we work together amazingly. I couldn't custom design a more perfect woman.
Reptile: I always like to ask this question as I know every cosplayer has that dream build/costume that they are just waiting for the right time to build. What is the build or costume that you are just waiting for that right time to build?
Sam (Black Zero Cosplay): My dream costume and favorite character is Hellboy. And the time to do it may be this August at Wizard World. I've drawn up so many designs and done so much research over the past year to prepare. I have so much reverence for him that I have to do it right.
Reptile: Another question I hear a lot in building cosplay props and pieces, EVA vs. Worbla. Which do you prefer to work with and why?
Sam (Black Zero Cosplay): I have worked with Worbla only once and I did not enjoy it. But I've been a foam guy my entire career so I may be a bit biased. 3D printing, though, that's where everything is going.
Reptile: Ok just for fun; It's the Zombie Apocalypse, what is your choice of weapon, and where would you hole up to try to survive until it was over?
Sam (Black Zero Cosplay): Well, obviously this question is what I devote most of my time thinking about haha. Weapon of choice is probably a baseball bat to be honest. They are everywhere and never run out of ammo so I think I'd go Negan style. As for the living situation, I've always thought an oil rig would be solid. Keep me high up and over water and I'll feel pretty safe.
Be sure to keep an eye on Black Zero Cosplay on Facebook, Instagram, and if you are interested in supporting his cosplay habit (or just seeing his feet), he also has a Patreon account.

Marriage Benefits
Written by Bob Crittendon
Family life is of great benefit to us - and we recognize that a home where God is worshipped and honored and His principles are placed in motion can produce a high degree of security and satisfaction. I am so grateful to celebrate this month 23 years of marriage to my lovely, wonderful, and Godly wife, Beth. We have seen the Lord bless our union and our family in amazing ways, for which I am deeply thankful!
The home can be an instigator and incubator for spiritual growth, as families learn to live with and love each other in the way that God would intend. As a result, we are strengthened, our lives are more secure, and we send a strong message to our culture about the importance of family and the sanctity of marriage.
Psalm 103 opens with these 2 verses: Bless the Lord, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits…The Psalmist goes on to enumerate just some of those benefits. A relationship with Christ and following His principles produces satisfaction, because His way is best! I believe that marriage carries a unique set of benefits.
We've heard a lot about marriage and "benefits" recently, as the Supreme Court has decided that gay couples who get a marriage license in states where such relationships are incorrectly viewed as "marriage" should receive the same benefits that traditional married couples receive. Honestly, you might try to extend material benefits to these couples, but the benefits of real marriage are more than a check in a mail or some sort of government-granted right.
Marriage is a God-ordained institution, and to be in a committed relationship predicated on love and respect for one another, recognizing that the Lord has joined the two parties together, gives a tremendous degree of satisfaction. A thriving marriage can encourage and support each of us, and provide a stable environment in which children can grow up. Our homes can be havens for security and habitations in which we can grow spiritually.
In a recent piece that Marvin Olasky wrote for WORLD, he highlights a book by Mary Eberstadt, How the West Really Lost God. In setting up his piece, Olasky quotes from the National Marriage Project, saying that the "Great Crossover" is now upon us: the median age at which women first give birth, 25.7 years, now falls below the median age at first marriage, 26.5. That's because 48 percent of all first births now come outside the comforting bounds of a two-parent family.
He writes that one reason for this crossover is clearly declining faith in the cross—fewer people believe what God teaches about marriage. He then cites Eberstadt's contention that the decline in family formation could lead to a further decline in religious belief. He states that she flips the conventional wisdom - first religious decline, then family decline - and argues that family formation increases religious involvement but unformed or broken families lead to a broken church. She puts her thesis in italics: "Something about living in families makes people more receptive to religiosity and the Christian creed."
Olasky adds that God uses child-bearing and child-raising to draw people to Himself; they learn that they are not the center of the world, that they belong to their spouses and to God. He says that self-focus is the chief obstacle to God-focus, and when family trumps self, the road to transformation providentially becomes open.
These writers highlight spiritual benefits to traditional marriage, which can have enormous social implications and provide a strong foundation for a stable society.
Unfortunately, the trends are moving in an opposite trajectory. The latest National Marriage Project report points out that we are witnessing a striking exodus from marriage, especially among high school-, but not college-educated, young people, for whom raising children amid unstable cohabiting relationships and serial partnerships is in danger of becoming the new norm.
This rapid decline of marriage among the almost 60 percent of the nation who are high school-educated but not college-educated has been dramatic. As recently as the 1980s, only 13 percent of the children of moderately-educated mothers were born outside of marriage. By the late 2000s, this figure rose to a striking 44 percent!
While I believe the Scriptures teach that the traditional marriage structure is the most effective, I applaud those single parents who attempt to raise children and provide stability in situations, often not of their own making, in which families become fractured.
A basic premise that I like to share is: God's way is best! Marriage, as defined by God, is a relationship with multiple benefits - to each individual, to the families that marriages anchor, and to the society at large.

The Portraits of August Sander
photography	 17. November 2016 0 Harald Sack
August Sander (1876-1964)
On Nov 17, 1876, German portrait and documentary photographer August Sander was born. Sander has been described as "the most important German portrait photographer of the early twentieth century". His work includes landscape, nature, architecture, and street photography, but he is best known for his portraits, as exemplified by his series People of the 20th Century. In this series, he aims to show a cross-section of society during the Weimar Republic.
August Sander was born in Herdorf-am-der-Sieg, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany, the son of a carpenter working in the mining industry. He left school at 14 to start working at a local mine, where Sander first learned about photography by assisting a photographer who was working for a mining company. With financial support from his uncle, he bought photographic equipment and set up his own darkroom in 1892. Sander spent his military service (1897–99) as a photographer's assistant and the next years wandering across Germany. In 1901, he started working for a photo studio in Linz, Austria, eventually becoming a partner (1902), and then its sole proprietor (1904). He left Linz at the end of 1909 and set up a new studio in Cologne.
In 1911, Sander began with the first series of portraits for his work People of the 20th Century by photographing local peasants, which inspired him to produce a series of portraits of German people from all strata of society. His portraits were usually stark, photographed straight on in natural light, with facts of the sitters' class and profession alluded to through clothing, gesture, and backdrop.[5] Sander favoured large-format cameras with lengthy exposure times so he could focus on detail. He described his work as "assisting a self-portrait".[6] He continued the series until his death in 1964. Overall, the series is divided into seven sections: The Farmer, The Skilled Tradesman, Woman, Classes and Professions, The Artists, The City, and The Last People (homeless persons, veterans, etc.). By 1945, Sander's archive included over 40,000 images.
In the early 1920s, he came in contact with the (Cologne Progressives) a radical group of artists linked to the workers' movement. In 1927, Sander and writer Ludwig Mathar travelled through Sardinia for three months, where he took around 500 photographs. However, a planned book detailing his travels was not completed.
"NOTHING is more hateful to me than photography sugar-coated with gimmicks, poses and false effects," wrote August Sander in 1927.
Sander's Antlitz der Zeit (Face of our Time) was published in 1929. It contains a selection of 60 portraits from his series People of the 20th Century, and is introduced by an essay by Alfred Döblin titled "On Faces, Pictures, and their Truth." Under the Nazi regime, his work and personal life were greatly constrained. Sander was subjected to official disapproval, perhaps because of the natural, almost vulnerable manner in which he showed the people of Germany or perhaps because of the heterogeneity it revealed.[5]
His son Erich, who was a member of the left wing Socialist Workers' Party (SAP), was arrested in 1934 and sentenced to 10 years in prison, where he died in 1944. Sander's book Face of our Time was seized in 1936 and the photographic plates destroyed. Around 1942, during World War II, he left Cologne and moved to a rural area, allowing him to save most of his negatives. His studio was destroyed in a 1944 bombing raid. Thirty thousand of Sander's roughly forty-thousand negatives survived the war, only to perish in an accidental fire in Cologne in 1946. Sander practically ceased to work as a photographer after World War II.
The Federal Republic of Germany awarded Sander the Order of Merit in 1960. August Sander died in Cologne in 1964 aged 87.

Since the internet has become more powerful in terms of providing a broad array of options and opportunities for people young and old, it has also become a great platform for games. Gamers can engage in massive, dramatic campaigns, including intense battles involving thousands of units with realistic and historical terrain, weather, orders of battle, logistics and combat results. There's so much shared between the two games that replacing TWW with TWW2 here is effectively pointless, and in any case the first game stars Warhammer's heaviest-hitters, making it probably still the better starting point.
Strategy games don't need to be ponderous and small scale. So prepare to make some tough choices as this game can feel like playing chess, and you'll often have to cut your losses and accept smaller defeats. Viking Games – Rule the beautiful Northern Kingdoms in Plarium's latest strategy phenomena Vikings: War of Clans on browsers and mobile, or unite the magical races of Nords: Heroes of the North against the Ice Queen and her undead army.
Pocket real time strategy in its purest form, Crush Your Enemies whittles things down to a series of feisty minutes-long battles. Also, gamers looking for the best strategy games 2018 has to offer. However, game developers did an excellent job of presenting new material to learn – it allows new players to master everything step by step.
Allegiance is a real time strategy game created by Microsoft. The game can be used as a starting point to discuss how different parts of your organization face different strategic environments, and understand why this in turn calls for a range of approaches to strategy and implementation.
Best Strategy Games For IPhone And IPad
Though it's a much more popular genre on PC, strategy games have still come to the Xbox in a big way this generation. Citation needed One form challenges two opposing players to clear their side of a board of mancala pieces while adding them into their opponent's side and thereby preventing the opponent from clearing their side. If we are fans of empire management titles, then Civilization VI is one of the best strategy games to play.
Strategy games are by a vast majority tied to a specific "milieu," to borrow King and Krzywinska's expression (2002, pp. 26-27): they are games that use the setting of a war or an armed conflict (Egenfeldt-Nielsen et al., 2008, p. 43). Based on Game Workshop's tabletop game, this RTS lets you play out massive naval spaceship battles in the Warhammer 40,000 universe.
There's always a whiff of unease on recommending a game from a developer nestled deep in the bosom of freemium gaming, but Clash Royale largely manages to be a lot of fun however much money you lob at it. The game is more or less a mash-up of card collecting and real-time strategy.
Free Up Your Mind, To Free Up Your Strategy BCG Henderson Institute
Two-player turn based strategy games help players build strategic thinking and reasoning skills while becoming more aware of their problem solving process. Its tussle of space civilizations is now vast and strange, all gene wars and synth rebellions alongside the more expected likes of imperialistic aliens, and it's a whole lot better set up for pacifistic play than it once was too. Strategy games are games in which you need to make a lot of decisions to achieve a specific outcome.
StarCraft is a complicated strategy game that requires players to consider hundreds of options at any given moment, to make strategic choices with payoffs a long way down the road, and to operate in a fast-changing environment with imperfect information.
Kharak itself, despite being a giant desert, is a fantastic planet-sized battlefield that does for the ground what the originals did for space The addition of terrain and elevation replicates the three-dimensional battles of the previous games, with the sand dunes providing cover, hiding spots, and high ground from where you can unleash devastating attacks.
You surely want to have the best gaming experience ever. Players also have to fit in with prison life, avoid getting caught, and find places to stash their ill-gotten goods. Crawford divided it in six subcategories: adventures, Dungeons & Dragons (Gygax & Arneson, 1974) games, wargames, games of chance, educational and children's games, and interpersonal games.
A Good Match For: Gamers looking for the best Mac grand strategy games. TW: Warhammer 2 is also an impressive game to behold, featuring massive real-time battles with hundreds of units on huge battlefields. When it comes to game genres, strategy gets tagged on to a lot of games — almost like a prefix.
The Best Xbox One Strategy Games Available In 2019
You usually play games to relax and have fun, but actually you can also learn while enjoying yourself. The lack of a mouse and keyboard were traditionally seen as impediments, with most strategy games never making it further than a PC release. What else should I be playing: Warlords Battlecry 3 is the high-point of the RTS spin-off series. Conventional wisdom for strategy – hell, almost any genre – is to go bigger each time.
The wider definition of strategy suggested by Hedley Bull in a paper on strategic studies is much more useful for game studies: "Strategy in its most general sense is the art or science of shaping means so as to promote ends in any field of conflict" (1968, p. 593).
Another perk of gaming on PC is that you can choose from hundreds of thousands of available games, be they big or small, indie or AAA, full-price or free-to-play.

The Prevalence of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato in Ixodes ricinus Ticks in the Sinop Region of Turkey
TURABİ GÜNEŞ
SERPİL KAYA
ÖMER POYRAZ
AYNUR ENGİN
This study was conducted in order to determine the prevalence of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato in Ixodes ricinus ticks, which are the primary vectors of this spirochete, as well as to investigate the effect of I. ricinus population density on the prevalence of B. burgdorferi s.l. Ticks were collected by blanket dragging in 13 different forest regions of Sinop, Turkey, and its vicinity. Ticks were identified under a stereomicroscope. I. ricinus (n = 334), I. hexagonus (n = 5), Rhipicephalus spp. (n = 10), Dermacentor spp. (n = 7), and Hyalomma spp. (n = 5) were collected. Direct immunofluorescence was used to detect B. burgdorferi in collected ticks. B. burgdorferi was detected in 15.9% (53/334) of the I. ricinus specimens examined. This spirochete was not detected in I. hexagonus, Rhipicephalus spp., Dermacentor spp., or Hyalomma spp. The prevalence of B. burgdorferi infection in I. ricinus tended to be higher in regions where I. ricinus was most abundant.

Is this a journey, and, if so, what is the destination? Where are we going, how will we get there, and how will we know we've arrived?!
Dr. Pauline Assenza, Associate Professor of Management at Western Connecticut State University, not only teaches small business entrepreneurship, but also is an entrepreneur herself. Her small online business The August Collection provides an outlet for folk artists who live in Ukraine and other parts of Eastern Europe.
The word "entrepreneur" comes from the French terms "entre", which means between, and "prendre" which means to take. "Entreprendre" would mean to "undertake", a "between-taker", so "entrepreneur" derives from this idea to do something between us that's a significant undertaking! Therefore, the idea that it's risky is inherent in the definition.
Key elements of this definition, in addition to risk, include the concepts of creation, innovation (spotting opportunities), business management (creating an organization), and an intention to grow or profit (capitalize) from this enterprise.
Tom Ehrenfeld says, "acting entrepreneurially means creating value where it didn't exist before." It's ultimately about problem-solving, benefiting someone or something in a way that makes it better. So think about what you can do to add value – to your new idea, to your employer, to your relationships, to your community, to your life – and then take the first step!
Given these definitions, entrepreneurs are risk-takers, and the risks can be financial, material AND psychological. In addition, entrepreneurs need to be able to recognize opportunities when they present themselves, and be willing to "capitalize" on them.
Personal characteristics that accompany entrepreneurship also include a high need for achievement, tolerance for ambiguity, internal locus of control, clear awareness of personal values, confidence, the ability to articulate an inspiring vision, and engender a sense of trust in others that leads to commitment.
And the traits of successful entrepreneurs include passion (they have to love what they do), trustworthiness, determination, and a deep knowledge of their subject area that allows them to connect with their customers.
A small business manager needs another set of characteristics and skills: perseverance, patience, and the critical thinking skills to handle the (perhaps rather boring!?) day-to-day challenges of planning, organizing, leading, and controlling a business, thereby sustaining a competitive advantage.
There's some research that suggests there are different types of entrepreneurs – some are "home run hitters" who come up with a great idea (the home run) and decide to make this idea his or her life's work; and some are "on-base hitters" who like to keep swinging at pitches just to get on base with a number of startups. These are the folks who prefer lots of small, regular successes, and would probably be bored or even intimidated by the day-to day complexities of ongoing business operations.
The best on-base hitters are able to turn a string of small successes into major businesses. We sometimes call these people "serial entrepreneurs" – think Richard Branson and Elon Musk.
The home run hitters, on the other hand, prefer the stability of the one business, and might be unable to cope with the uncertainty and ambiguity of having to "go to bat" over and over. This doesn't mean these people aren't entrepreneurial, just that they have a singular passion and the determination to see it through to success – think Howard Schultz and Starbucks.
This idea comes from an article in Inc. Magazine, by John Warrillow, "What Kind of Entrepreneur Are You?" According to the author, "the on-base hitter can focus on starting and exiting lots of smaller businesses in a career and not harbor second thoughts when heading for the exit. In contrast, the slugger would be best served by making a single business their life's work." Which are you??
Becoming an entrepreneur is not for everyone. In business, there are no guarantees. There is simply no way to eliminate all of the risks. It takes a special person with a strong commitment and specific skills to be successful as an entrepreneur. Are you ready to start your own business?
Before you begin, you might want to learn something about the overall process of business development, and the environmental, organizational, and personal characteristics that are necessary at each stage of the "entrepreneurial arc".
This "arc" of business development starts with the idea and the triggering event that prompts you to begin feasibility testing – will this new idea find a market, and is that market profitable? It continues through implementation, growth, and the maturity of your business, and ends with a "harvest" event – reminding you that with every idea comes the need for an exit strategy!
The purpose of this model is to illustrate the stages of business development and highlight the processes and factors that are significant. In each stage of the start-up process, different personal characteristics will be more important as the business takes on new attributes.
The business also changes as it matures. In the growth stage, attention should be placed on team building, setting strategies, and creating the structure and culture of the business.
In the maturity stage, more attention can be directed to specific functions of the business. Here's where the people within the business specialize in and concentrate on what they do best, be it marketing, finance, or managing human resources.
One final note: You are more likely to be successful in your business venture if it is something that you feel deeply about, so PASSION is important!
In addition, it's hard to do this alone, so you need OTHERS to help along the way.
Realize that if you can convince people that your idea can truly add value to benefit a specific community, you're well on your way to getting support from that community, and this support network can make a real difference to your ultimate success.
Final words? Always be open to opportunities. NEVER stop looking for things you can make better!
