 PASSIONATE Successful entrepreneurs love what they do. They have the energy and
the drive to make their business dreams a reality.
 CREATIVE Successful entrepreneurs are able to come up with creative solutions to
problems. They can “think outside the box”.
 RISK-TAKER Entrepreneurs must be confident enough to take risks, and not be
overcome by a fear of failure or become discouraged by setbacks.
 PERISTENT Entrepreneurs must be persistent. If at first they don’t succeed, they
have to be willing to try again.
 CHARISMATIC Entrepreneurs must be able to draw people in and inspire their interest
and enthusiasm.
 HARD-WORKING Entrepreneurs are willing to work hard and devote themselves to a
business idea they believe in.

need to adapt plans to solve problems or to meet new market demands.

 INDEPENDENT Entrepreneurs are not afraid to think differently or to have their own
ideas. They enjoy being leaders who have the freedom to decide what they are going to do next.
 SELF-CONFIDENT Successful entrepreneurs believe in their business idea. Most
importantly they believe in themselves and their ability to succeed.
