GENERAL TRAITS OF BEING AN ENTREPRENEUR

If we are keen to be the true employer for ourselves and do our own business activities entirely, we must have at least some qualifications to be eligibly called an entrepreneur. The term so-called an entrepreneur, in theory, is essentially referred to someone or an individual who possesses the ability to organize and direct a series of business endeavours. Surprisingly, there are those individuals who were born and gifted naturally with entrepreneurial aptitudes; be it when they were still in their secondary high schools or in universities.

Actually, our first-hand experience (first attempt to run a business) is significantly important to polish our managerial skills because it helps us train our tenacity. In fact, we can either learn from a handful number of entrepreneurs who have been successful and look up to them as our role-models. Similarly, we can also follow the pattern of their successful footprints which they have achieved through their business ups and downs. In any case, when it comes to the characteristics of being an entrepreneur, we can delve into the qualities or personal traits owned by any successful entrepreneurs by looking at the below descriptions:

1. A person who excels higher. Being an entrepreneur demands high achievement, as it is necessary to work closely with professionals and partnering with a certain number of particular experts, especially when solving or tackling the problems. For each step, being as an entrepreneur must be able to stipulate a business vision and mission.

 

2. A Risk Taker. Being an entrepreneur should not be afraid of any risks. If possible, we should consider confronting medium risks and avoid the kind of high ones. If we want to become an entrepreneur, such a high level of achievement could possibly be accomplished as long as if we are willing enough to take risks toward the pursuit of our own goals and future ambitions.

3. Trouble Shooter. An entrepreneur must be good at identifying and resolving any dilemmas, both effectively and efficiently.

4. Highly energetic. As an entrepreneur, a person must be healthy both physically and mentally. Besides, working excessively more than normal working hours and can do some ad-hock tasks sufficiently in a long span of period is regarded as being full of beans (highly energetic). Hence, this is something necessary because it is an entrepreneur the one who deals with time management alone.

5. Highly Confident and Less Emotional Attachment. Confidence and beliefs which most of the entrepreneurs have are the emotional skills, willingness, and ability that can handle life without heavily relying on others. Additionally, being an entrepreneur should be able to avoid things which can lead to the development of poor relationships (e.g. disharmony) with business partners, relatives, friends, and anyone else who may turn out to be an obstacle when running a business.
