"As we turn the corner of a new millennium, a new role model is emerging for the business world. Replacing the acclaimed corporate executive of the 20th Century will be the entrepreneur of the 21st Century. In fact, it is predicted that with the advancement of technology and the World Wide Web, entrepreneurship will surface as 'the defining trend of the business world in this next century.' A new breed of professionals is emerging - professionals who are no longer satisfied with the old social mores and work ethic so prevalent at the close of the 20th century. These new professionals are putting aside their corporate ladders and replacing them with a vision that they can create a balanced work environment which offers personal growth and fulfilment, financial rewards in keeping with how they value themselves, the chance to share their wealth, and the freedom to enjoy life. Not only employees but also employers are candidates for this new form of capitalism, tired of too many sacrifices at too great a personal cost. These entrepreneurs will become the leading economic drivers - so much so that it is expected that the 21st century could well become known as 'the entrepreneurial age.'"
