ATTRIBUTES OF AN ENTREPRENEUR

There’s nothing better than working for yourself, having your own business, and being in charge of your own destiny. However, not everyone has the right mindset or the right personality to be a successful entrepreneur. The truth is that most people who have tried to start their own business have failed.


Do you have what it takes to be an entrepreneur? You might if you possess these five key attributes shared by the world’s most successful entrepreneurs.
1. They're Innovative


You have to be able to differentiate yourself somehow from all of the others on the market if you want to be a successful entrepreneur. You can do this in many different ways. You can offer a new product or a new variation on an existing product. You can build up an iconic brand or offer a unique customer service experience. Whatever it is you choose to do, though, you need to find some way to set yourself apart and attract customers to your business if you want to be a success.
2. They Aren’t Afraid to Take a Chance


Starting a business is a risky endeavor since there is always a chance that your business will fail. Not only that, but you may have to take many risks over the course of growing your business, expanding into new markets, investing capital, and hiring new employees. If you hesitate or if you are afraid to jump in with both feet, you will never be able to grow your business or to make your business a success.
3. They're Willing to Work Hard


When you are operating your own business, your success or failure is 100 percent dependent upon you. You will need to work very hard, especially in the beginning, to get your business off the ground. Even once your business is established, you can’t let yourself fall behind or stop putting your all into it. This means being prepared to work at least as hard as you would if you were an employee for an existing business, and likely to work much harder. As the article 1 by Purolator points out, many entrepreneurs put in 60–80 hour work weeks. Of course, if you love your business and are passionate about what you do, hopefully it won’t feel like work.
4. They Know How to Manage Money and People


An entrepreneur can have the best idea in the world but he will not be successful in business unless he knows how to make that idea profitable and how to actually run a business. This means that it is important to know the practicalities of managing a business. You’ll need to set budgets, come up with a business plan, hire employees, and motivate staff to work for you if you want your business to work.
5. They Are Passionate About What They Do


Because running a business requires hard work, you need to be very passionate about it. Your passion will be what drives your business and what allows you to connect with customers and do something important. If you aren’t excited about your ideas and about making your business a success, you aren’t going to be a successful entrepreneur.

Introduction To Business 101

You might have asked like I did, why are some people and organization more successful than others? Why do some people have wonderful careers, moving from position to position, up wards and never downwards, paid more or at best promoted faster?

Yet why is  it that other go from company to company, job to job and continually worrying about money and having financial high blood pressure. When I was younger, I thought everything high was meant for the rich like high blood pressure, his royal highness even high income flow. Now look at the poor man everything is low. Low blood pressure, low income rate, low skill, low thinking, low knowledge etc.

Your first break through in business is to discover that for every cause there is always an effect, which is everything happens for a reason. Aristotle knew this and postulated this firmly, an effect of some kind. Now this means that all achievement, happiness, business success and even failure, (don’t be scared my friend) are all the direct and indirect effects or results of specific cause or action. So this means for whatever you are facing now, you are responsible for it.  

Now you know that success itself isn't and accident. Sir Isaac Newton in his third principle of motion said, “Action and reaction are equal and opposite?”        

Brain Tracy puts it this way, “Thoughts are cause and conditions are effects?” therefore you become what you think about most of the time. All the people and situations in your life have only the meaning you give them by the way you think about them. And when you change your thinking, you change your life and sometimes in seconds.
