Do You Have Traits of an Entrepreneur?

Do You Have Traits of an Entrepreneur?

The adage “I think; therefore I am” couldn’t be more true for entrepreneurs. Achieving success as an independent business owner is routed in the traits you possess and, quite simply, the way you think.

Checklist of characteristics of entrepreneurs:

• You are driven to succeed.
• You are a self-starter and go-getter.
• You routinely see opportunities where others see problems.
• You take control of your own destiny and bear responsibility for your own actions.
• You are willing to give up the security blanket of corporate life.
• You thrive on change.
• You understand the importance of making a profit.

The origin of the word “entrepreneur” is the French “entreprendre”, which means “to undertake.” Isn’t it interesting that the focus of the root word is on the action, rather than the outcome? All successful entrepreneurs understand that point implicitly—that taking action is the crucial first step, and being open to new opportunities that might be revealed along the way.
It’s time to ask yourself: are you thinking like an entrepreneur?
