Nowadays there is a lot of talk about how everybody can be an entrepreneur, but the truth is that there are some essential characteristics that separate the good ones from the not so good! So, we thought it would be a great idea to share what we believe to be the eight most essential characteristics that amazing entrepreneurs should have. Of course, even the great ones don’t possess each and every one of these, and so it’s OK if you don’t either. Not possessing one presents an opportunity to grow, or a great moment to find a partner! In our discussion, we speak to the characteristics of optimism, commitment to lifelong learning, having a high risk tolerance and being able to separate ego from success and failure. Our key characteristics also include passion, decisiveness, being future-focussed and able to analyze the trends, and finally, having the flexibility to change with one’s environment. Remember, it takes a special person to fully encapsulate all the above qualities, so don’t feel like you have to exactly match all of them. The reality though is every entrepreneur is going to be faced with the need to access at least a little bit of all these, so make sure you take a listen and find out how you measure up!
