Abstract

This chapter contains a categorization of the early-life decisions that are identified in the previous chapters. By categorizing the decisions, we form a basis that can be used for the analysis. Given the wide variety of early-life decisions, it is virtually impossible to do an analysis with individual decisions, which makes categorization the most logical alternative. Each of the categories is discussed, after which this chapter ends with some conclusions that can be drawn from the information that results from the categorization. It should be noted that some of the decisions that are classified as wrong decisions, due to their lack of commercial or financial result, are not all seen as wrong decisions by the entrepreneurs. This is mainly because the majority of these decisions either resulted in a positive effect in other areas such as customer satisfaction, or has taught the entrepreneur a valuable lesson. This chapter also leads to the discussion of the Early-Life Decision Model for Software Entrepreneurs, as presented in Figure 20.1.
