Having defined what entrepreneurship is, who is an entrepreneur? And what are the characteristic features if an entrepreneur. An entrepreneur is a person (man or woman) who efficiently and effectively combines resources (4 factors of production) and who seeks through the harnessing of these resources, to solve problems in the society. Another point about an entrepreneur is that he is often the person who takes full responsibility for the outcome of his venture.

Here we go: 8 Common Characteristics of Successful Entrepreneurs

Association - Who you are associated with and who you dont associate with are both equally important. Successful entrepreneurs are not associating themselves with negative individuals who have the ability to bring down in their efforts towards success. When you associate yourself with other leaders, positive and like minded individuals the doors begin to open up and opportunities begin to present themselves. Mastermind - Successful entrepreneurs surround themselves and mastermind with like minded individuals. This creates momentum in their businesses through the accountability and energy a mastermind group can provide. Coachable - All successful entrepreneurs are coachable. They are open to criticism and open to becoming more successful. Often times its through criticism that we can grow and become a more successful entrepreneur. In my experience as a coach / mentor we often see the potential in our students that they may not see and thats why allowing yourself to be coached, you too can grow and become successful. Hunters - Successful entrepreneurs are always on the hunt. Whatever it is you are trying to achieve whether it be a new recruit, prospect, bonus, contest, success, dream, you must always be on the hunt to achieve the your desired result. This will require hunger, drive, eagerness and passion to remain a good successful hunter. Invest - Successful entrepreneurs are always investing in their personal development and investing in their business. If you arent investing in your business or yourself you are not growing. Treat your business as a business and realize you must invest in it in order to receive a great return. Manage - Successful entrepreneurs know how to manage their time, money, personal life, hours. They successfully find balance between work and personal life. This is all done by excellent management skills. If you are poor at managing your time, schedule, money, business, personal life, etc you quite possibly are going to go down the road of failure. Set out a schedule everyday and write it down. If you follow your schedule you are more likely to accomplish what you set out to do each day and get more done without the daily distractions that will naturally come your way.

Entrepreneurs often have a strong belief about a market opportunity and organises their resources effectively to accomplish an outcome that changes existing interactions. This is the fundamental premise on which entrepreneurship is built.

From this point, entrepreneurs create value by offering products or services which helps alleviate problems.
