Short YouTube clip from Real Estate Team OS featuring Emily Smith discussing the complementary roles of entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs. Emily frames intrapreneurs as risk-averse operators (often COOs) who will build inside someone elseās business while the entrepreneur (owner) carries the risk; the clip teases deeper coverage of how to pair these personality types effectively.
The entrepreneur needs an intrapreneur. If you're not familiar with that language, here's a quick go at it with Emily Smith.
I think of it as being kind of an intrapreneur in their business. Like they are the entrepreneurs. They really, as the owners carry the risk and what you'll find. I think a lot with COOs if you really dig under the circuit surface. A lot of us are risk averse and so I will take certain risks, but I love getting to be an intrapreneur and build in someone else's business where they ultimately are carrying the risk. If you want to like say it that way, I think that there are a lot of us out there, very capable people who would come right next to you and want to live there for the long term and help you build and grow and move things forward, but are afraid of the risks involved in that.
