What are the characteristics of an entrepreneur?

hey people,

I was recently at a conference with my colleagues and heard from one of the best entrepreneurs in my business the best explanation of what defines an entrepreneur. Most people use the word entrepreneur very loosely and I think the following will clear things up.

An Entrepreneur is:

1. personal growth

2. always learning

3. looking for opportunities everywhere

4. seek the advice of qualified people

5. invest in your future

6. is willing to pay a price

7. support your own business

8. develop others

9. a blessing for your community

10. always developing people skills

11. an ambassador of your business

12. take responsibility

13. understands that for each adversary he carries with him the seed of equal benefit

14. has long-term thinking

15. knows that success is the progressive realization of a worthwhile effort

16. sets goals and works to achieve those goals

Entrepreneurs create jobs and fuel the economy

This is the most concise collection of the characteristics of an entrepreneur that I have ever heard and is truly the heartbeat of what characteristics are necessary to be successful as a business owner. The entrepreneur is a rare breed. It takes grit and determination to manifest greatness in one’s life. It takes the ability to lead others and, at times, to be humble.

In today’s society, entrepreneurship is almost looked down upon by the average Joe or Jane and here’s why. People don’t believe in themselves enough, so when someone stands out from the crowd and tries to do something great and above average with their lives, they are looked down upon. An entrepreneur learns to stand above the crowd and move on. Entrepreneurs have a burning desire backed by faith and determination; A winning combination that every worthwhile effort demands for its complete realization.
