Are You an Entrepreneur? : 10 Qualities and Traits of an Entrepreneur

1. Passionate and Self-Motivated.

I think that these really make up the top qualities. If you have no passion for what you do and need outside forces to motivate you then you are just setting yourself up to fail. Passion and self-motivation is at the core of every entrepreneur.

2. Always seeking New Opportunities.

Entrepreneurs are opportunity-seekers. They are always communicating, always learning and always getting information. And with this they see doors opening all the time. For them, everything is an opportunity. Even failure is an opportunity.

3. Full of Ideas.

Entrepreneurs are always full of ideas. Their creativity is unwavering. Whether it's a single big idea or a series of small ones, entrepreneurs feed these ideas by learning more about them and eventually taking the risk to try them out.

4. Are Risk Takers.

There are no guarantees in life; there is no business model or career path that is guaranteed to work 100%. Entrepreneurs take calculated risks. They understand that every decision they make may have either financial rewards or losses.

5. Are willing to go the Extra Mile.

I haven't heard of a lazy entrepreneur. I haven't heard of anyone who has stated up a business become successful to say they did it without hard work. Entrepreneurs are more than willing to work long hours for their ideas and businesses. I'd like to think that entrepreneurs never stop working because they are constantly in the creative process.

6. Are Flexible but Able to set Boundaries.

Entrepreneurs accept that change is constant. No business my last forever. Things may change in an instant and that the world is constantly changing. They also know when to set boundaries for the risks they take, hence the term calculated risk.

7. Are Frugal.

Entrepreneurs know when to cut back on spending and know when to spend. They also have a hierarchy of spending which makes their own personal material desires last on the list.

8. Are Dreamers. (My favorite trait)

Entrepreneurs have great visualization. They imagine things happening for them. They think way ahead of tomorrow. They plan their work and work their plan.

9. Are Confident Leaders.

Entrepreneurs are torch bearers. They know where they are going and they are willing to carry the torch to light the way. I remember reading an article about an entrepreneur who said that while he wasn't the top student in class, he was always the group leader.

10. Believe.

Believe in yourself, believe in your ideas. Believe that you can make it. Believe in your goals. Believe in taking that leap to pursue your own happiness.
