I don't understand the animal representations in the metaphor... Dragon I can infer, but turtle?

Turtle was used to symbolize slower, more tentative, more passive, less bold. Protecting itself from the world. Dragon was chosen to symbolize strength, drive, passion, assertiveness, and a take charge attitude. The people who start off with BASE are generally not entrepreneurs because they're not yet "entrepreneur material" for whatever reason or reasons - usually fear, hence turtle, who hides in its shell. We are turning them into entrepreneurs, but it isn't an overnight process. There is a lot of shaping, adjustment and refining that must be done depending on where you are starting from.
