CHARACTERISTICS OF
SUCCESSFUL ENTREPRENEURS

Ozella
PERSEVERANCE
Entrepreneurs inevitably face challenges, even
setbacks, during their quest for business success.
Successful entrepreneurship requires that you
persevere and pursue your idea even when your
situation appears bleak.
The willingness to try and fail and try again
 SELF-DISCIPLINE

Entrepreneurs must posses a

high level of self-discipline.
(No boss leaning over your
shoulder, and nobody forces
you to get out of bed in the
morning and go to work.)
COMPETITIVENESS

You’ll need to possess a competitive spirit to beat

your competitors, much like an athlete who
attempts to defeat her opponent.
You also need to take the time to study the
competition to understand what they do right
and wrong, which results in a beneficial learning
experience.
SELF-MOTIVATED

An entrepreneur is intrinsically motivated as

there is typically no financial reward in the
beginning stages of starting a business. Rather
than wait for progress and success.
An entrepreneur takes whatever action is
necessary to facilitate these things.
 LEADERSHIP SKILLS

According to Jason Bowser in his article,

Whether overseeing a team of two or 200,
entrepreneurs must have strong leadership
qualities,
An entrepreneur must have the ability to
motivate his employees to work together
toward their goals, which requires earning
their trust and respect.
RISK-TAKERS

a person who is willing to do things that involve

danger or risk in order to achieve a goal
INNOVATIVE(CREATIVE)

All businesses began with an idea, such as create

fashionable apparel from recycled clothing or connect
travelers all over the world with a free online travel
network.
The ability to not only come up with new ideas but
develop and improve them as the business grows is an
essential characteristic of a good entrepreneur.
PASSION
You don't have to adore every aspect of your
business to be a successful entrepreneur.
You do need deep passion for making your
business a success, because this passion will take
you through difficult tasks on the way to the part
of your business that ignites your spirit and heart.
TECHNOLOGY SAVVY

All of the most successful entrepreneurs of

recent years have used technology to their
advantage, from Microsoft's Bill Gates to
Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg.
You don't have to invent new technology, but using
tech trends to save time and increase profit can give
your business a strong advantage.
