5 QUALITIES THAT
DESCRIBE YOU (entrepreneur)
They are common
characteristics which successful entrepreneurs share. These characteristics do
not guarantee success or reduce the risks associated with starting a business. However
this is a starting point for you as the owner of a small business to evaluate
your strengths and weaknesses. Self-evaluation is very important because it
helps you focus your early efforts on your strong points, while working to
improve and work on your weaknesses. That is, if your strengths are in marketing
but weak on the financial side, then you will need to find a way to deal with
that part of the business in order to succeed.
1. SELF–STARTER: You
take the initiative to develop your business model and follow all the necessary
steps needed to progress.
2. VISIONARY: Your
goals are set as you plan ahead, you are creative, innovative and have created
plans which you follow.
3. CREATIVE PROBLEM SOLVER:
You find creative ways to overcome your challenges. To you challenges are not
stumbling blocks which are just part of the road to becoming a successful
entrepreneur. You are a good decision maker, constantly making quick decisions
under pressure and independently.
4. LEADER: The leader
in you takes responsibility, is accountable for their actions and goes all out
to lead by example. You are ready to call the shots and have people turn to you
for answers and direction. You motivate and inspire others. Strong motivation is
needed for business success, especially during times of slowdowns and periods
of burnout.
5. INTERPERSONAL
SKILLS: You are a good communicator with great people’s skills. Being in
business requires developing interactive working relationships with a variety
of people including customers and staff.
