The Entrepreneur, according to Melcion, Chassagne & Cie
Despite the profound evolution of the business world over the past 30 years, the definition of an Entrepreneur remains a constant for us. A vision inherited from the ’70s and already formulated by 2 researchers. According to them, an Entrepreneur is defined by two essential characteristics:
This approach is far from the common understanding that associates the idea of “Entrepreneur” with the notion of “risk-taking,” adventure-seeking or significant financial gains. So, for us, someone behind a start-up isn’t necessarily an Entrepreneur, while an employee could very well be one without knowing it!
More to the point
An Entrepreneur is never satisfied with routine. He or she needs constant challenges, and this permanent dissatisfaction pushes them to innovate constantly.
Because we have been practicing Entrepreneurship for over 30 years, we understand your expectations. Our expertise is expressed during our meetings: we listen to you, share with you our experiences on similar subjects and entrust you with the questions that we believe are relevant to ask.
Our expertise is also reflected in project management assistance: we help you find the expert contacts you need, and design and execute your strategic projects.

What a Melcion Advisor can do for you
Over the span of 25 years, we have been able to observe the concrete contributions of long-term consulting. The benefits vary depending on the Entrepreneur, but these are some of the gains we’ve seen time and time again:
Reassurance
By recognizing yourself in a definition of Entrepreneur that resonates with you, by feeling understood and, in a sense, strengthened in your role and your way of thinking differently.
Perspective
Take advantage of an outside, neutral and sympathetic look at your activity, your operation, or your ideas. The exchange is a form of emulation for an Entrepreneur.
Collective expertise
Through ongoing exchanges between Advisors, you benefit from the experience of thousands of cases previously handled by Melcion, and have access to an address book of specialists.
Relief from the double solitude of the Entrepreneur
An Entrepreneur is both lonely and misunderstood because he or she is socially different. Deciding to have a Melcion Advisor by your side―someone who respects your leadership―will help in reducing the tension of decision-making and in getting you out of the isolation that the Entrepreneurial approach puts you in.
