The Entreprenuerical Spirit
http://www.canadabusiness.ca
Personal Qualities:
Patient and persevering. Successful entrepreneurs are normally willing to work long, hard hours and willing to weather the highs and lows of business
Love a challenge and are driven by a need to challenge one's self
High tolerance for ambiguous, unstructured situations
Possess a desire for change and constant improvement.
Entrepreneurs frequently monitor social trends and adopt new technologies
Action-oriented
Think positively and quickly get over their failures
Learn quickly, enjoy feedback, and are able to learn from mistakes
Both listen and communicate well
Independent and extroverted
Self-confident and determined to succeed. Entrepreneurs should be comfortable with having all of the decisions rest upon them
Creative, innovative, and open-minded
Physical and Psychological Qualities:
Ample health and energy
Emotional stability
Money-enough to start the business, as well as to support yourself during the risky start-up period
Time-A business requires a lot of time and attention, especially during its launch
Influence from entrepreneurial role models
Personal intelligence
Although entrepreneurs tend to rely more on their mental attitudes and philosophies, it is still important to possess particular business skills.
Business and Managerial Skills:
Able to set realistic attainable goals
Love to take risks, but ensure that these risks are calculated, not foolish
Able to exert influence and inspiration on others without a need to impose status or power
Able to get along with and adapt to all types of people
Able to trust others and give out responsibility
Possess good communication skills (the ability to put your ideas into writing, as well as to persuasively present your ideas to a group of people)
Possess general financing, production, administration, human resources, sales, and marketing skills
You must also take a look outside yourself and observe whether your lifestyle is suitable to entrepreneurship, particularly since entrepreneurs cannot depend on job security or retirement.
Lifestyle Considerations:
Other commitments and obligations-your decision will not only affect you; get the opinions and input from others
Family-there are many added responsibilities associated with having a family. You must not only provide food, clothing, and shelter, but also adequate love, attention, and security. Therefore, you should guarantee that your new venture does not put others at risk
Your own happiness and whether you are passionate enough about your business idea to ensure that you will enjoy it daily. Considering your natural talents, skills, and sources of enjoyment may lead you to the best business idea
All of these characteristics, combined with know-how, personal contacts, and the development of business expertise, generally separate the successful from the unsuccessful in entrepreneurialism. Act wisely by taking a look at yourself-your needs, desires, and capabilities-before taking the plunge into the world of business.
