What Makes a Successful Entrepreneur?

[DeletedUser394]

I found this article. Here's a summary if you don't want to read it all;

http://www.billda.com/what-makes-a-successful-entrepreneur

• Entrepreneurs are non-conformists. Being non-conformists, they are innately driven to differentiate from the status quo. They don’t listen when someone tells them something cannot be done.
• Entrepreneurs are motivated by achievement rather than power or money. They set high goals that they can reach through application of their skills. They are more interested in creating something than getting rich (which ironically, sometimes is the result).
• Entrepreneurs prefer to do new things, or to do familiar things in a different and better way. Entrepreneurs have a preference for innovation.
• Entrepreneurs have high uncertainty tolerance. They are willing to accept that they cannot predict the future, but recognize that they can guide it through their actions.

Hope you guys enjoy it. :fastlane:

I like this one. Pretty much a key to being an entrepreneur is uncertainty tolerance. If you have none, you will always be looking back to security.

great read although i disagree that entrepreneur's are not motivated by money. It might not be the sole motivation by money definitely has an influence.

Yes, I'm included in the club! I realized at the beginning that I was posting for the sole goal of increasing my rep.

After having read MJs blog about "A successful entrepreneurial premise", my attitude changed 360 degrees.

Thanks MJ and everyone else who plays a role in this great forum! I'm glad I'm doing my share. :smx9:
