Do YOU have what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur?
While there are many ingredients to being a successful
entrepreneur many studies have found these similar traits.
How many do you have?
1- Ambitious. Entrepreneurs are very competitive and have a
need for achievement.
2- Independent. Entrepreneurs are self-starters who prefer to
lead rather than follow. Entrepreneurs are individualists. They
don't march left-right-left-right. They march left-left-
right-right-hop-left-skip-right.
3- Self-Confident. Entrepreneurs understand the challanges of
starting a business but are decisive. They have faith in their
ability to resolve problems. They trust their hunches and ACT on
them.
4- Risk Taking. While not averse to risk, most entrepreneurs prefer
a moderate degree of risk, where they have a chance to control the
outcome. Some even prefer highly risky ventures that depend on luck.
5- Visionary. Entrepreneurs believe they can see the future. Their
ability to spot trends and act on them sets them apart from small
business owners and managers.
6- Creative. Entrepreneurs need to have creative product designs and
ideas, marketing strategies and solutions to managerial problems if
they want to compete with larger companies.
7- Energetic. Starting a business can take long hours. Many
Entrepreneurs start their business while still working a full-time
job.
8- Passionate. Entrepreneurs love their work. Some would argue that
if you're not passionate about what you're doing, then you can't be
an entrepreneur. It takes so many compromises and sacrifices and too
much effort.
9- Committed. Entrepreneurs make personal sacrafices to achieve
their goals. Because of their commitment, they are persistent in
seeking solutions to problems.
Studies have also shown that in comparison to the average executive,
entrepreneurs are much more opinionated, emotionally aloof,
impatient, focused and aggressive. They also tend to get upset when
things don't go their way.
So how much of yourself do you see? Are you a successful
entrepreneur? Do you have what it takes to be one?
