Characteristics of a Successful Entrepreneur: 3

1. Discipline - A self-disciplined entrepreneur is a master of their patience, who sees the bigger picture and sticks
to the plan. They trust their efforts and believe to achieve big, being perseverant and persistent.
2. Confidence - Entrepreneurs who have confidence attract what they desire. They present their best selves to
their potential clients and those clients feel their energy and confidence. When you know that you are the best
person to get the job done and believe in yourself, others will believe in you too.
3. Open Minded - in a business, every circumstance can be an opportunity and used for the benefit of the
company. The businessperson should be willing to consider different ideas or opinions to utilize the situation.
4. Self – Starter – someone who motivates themselves to complete tasks.
5. Competitive – wanting very much to win or be more successful than other people
6. Creative – the ability to come up with new ideas and to identify new and different ways of looking at a
problem and opportunities.
7. Determination – what allows an entrepreneur to dream of an impossible vision and make it a reality.
Determination is also about respecting the fact that the ride will be rough, have many ups and downs, and will
likely require a change of paths several times before that vision is realized.
8. Strong People Skill – defined as the ability to listen, communicate and relate to others on a personal or
professional level. Good people skills also extend to include problem-solving abilities, empathy for others,
and a willingness to work together toward the common good.
9. Strong Work Ethics –  an attitude an employee applies to their work that indicates a high level of passion for
any work they do.
10. Passionate – the most intrinsic attribute for any entrepreneur. It is a passion that fuels the entrepreneur to
commit and put their whole self towards achieving a vision; it is the same passion that propels the entrepreneur
to take risks and be innovative in their approach.
