Let's add two more traits to yesterday's list:
5) Ability to work in ambiguity
A non-entrepreneur needs to know "why" and "how." They
struggle in situations of uncertainty. An entrepreneur--particularly
a successful one--does not freeze despite not having all the
answers. They can still move forward.
6) Lack of fear of disappointing people
If you fail, you will disappoint your family and friends (except the
jealous ones). More so, you will disappoint investors and lenders.
Some people cannot handle that fear, so they never take the leap.
Entrepreneurs do not necessarily have more risk appetite than the
average person. But they embrace, or at least accept, certain types
of risk.
So here we have six traits needed to succeed in your own business. Good luck.
