Characteristics of Successful EntrepreneursCharacteristics of Successful Entrepreneurs
An eye for opportunityMany entrepreneurs start by finding a need and quickly satisfying it.
IndependenceEven though most entrepreneurs know how to work within the framework for the
sake of profits, they enjoy being their own boss.
An appetite for hard workMost entrepreneurs start out working long, hard hours with little pay.
Self-confidenceEntrepreneurs must demonstrate extreme self-confidence in order to cope with all
the risks of operating their own business.
DisciplineSuccessful entrepreneurs resist the temptation to do what is unimportant or the
easiest but have the ability to think through to what is the most essential.

Ability to accept changeThe entrepreneur thrives on changes and their businesses grow.
Make stress work for themOn the roller coaster to business success the entrepreneur often copes by
focusing on the end result and not the process of getting there.
Need to achieveAlthough they keep an "eye" on profits, this is often secondary to the drive toward
personal success.
Focus on profitsSuccessful entrepreneurs always have the profit margin in sight and know that
their business success is measured by profits.
