Come across this book. Amazing book and deep dive into more advanced topics in entrepreneurship.
Also, as reading this book, I slowly realize the similarities and differences between a startup founder and a product manager
As a founder/entrepreneur, in my opinion, it wears more different hats. What it really means in my opinion is that you need to take a lot of different types of actions, one time it's interviewing, other times it's building your pitches and slide deck. It's a constant hypothesizing, testing, acting fast, and experimenting; or it's about coming up resources out of scarcity. If you wish to specialize in one or two skills or even a few skills, being an entrepreneur might not be for you.
In the MBTI sense, ENTP->ENFJ or ESTJ->ENTP might fit more with the persona of a founder.
However, here I am only talking about the strict sense in this book Running Lean, where it talks mostly about software product. Maybe in other types of businesses, different personality might fit more with the types of businesses.
Such a social enterprise; or nonprofit; or small business; or agency; or a restaurant; or even freelancing.
A personal take also, that there might be outliers. So one size doesn't fit all after all.

I decide to learn more about marketing, management, and design.
The first book I come across is on OKRs. See book Measure What Matters here
I have a new aspiration to be a product marketer who helps product launch successfully. I want to leverage my established connections, my long-held passion for marketing, and my existing knowledge in product management and my business skills/knowledge to help businesses succeed.
I have a new theory that, although MBTI can tell you what education or career and connection will align with you, in 1. whether you will succeed, 2. your inner peace and mental being, it can not predict the amount of money you will make. I hypothesize that it has more to do with the psychology of buying and selling, supply and demand, than whether you feel good about what you do and whether you succeed in it.
As money and making money is a capitalistic idea, and education, career, and connection ambition is more of a self-development/personal success idea.
However, it does have some overlap and it's not mutually exclusive. If what you do makes you lots of money and it aligns with you and your inner being. Then kudos to you.
Of course it will feel good that you succeed at stuff, but if you don't have the necessary business skill, it's more difficult to make the bigger impact in life, but of course there is less risk involved so no harm on that.
I don't know how true this theory is, but I think it is a good time to invest more time in studying business and marketing.
