Breaking the Entrepreneur’s Code
The Distinct Traits Required
The path of an entrepreneur certainly isn’t easy. A great many people have traveled that path and failed miserably. It’s a path riddled with danger and uncertainty. However, it’s also a path that brings an immense opportunity and a chance to live unbridled freedom.
All of us want more freedom in our lives. It’s hard because we feel constricted by our jobs, the people around us, and all the responsibilities that build the framework of our lives. The path of an entrepreneur is rarely straightforward. But do you truly have what it takes to become an entrepreneur? Do you have what it takes to succeed as an entrepreneur? Well, let’s find out.
We will explore the qualities and requirements of entrepreneurship. Moreover, we will break down the commitments entrepreneurs make, and examine the nine distinct characteristics of the entrepreneurial mind. These characteristics include:
Let’s break the code one by one
The Passion
Entrepreneurs are often self-starters who follow their own paths and passions. Entrepreneurs are decisive with clarity, persistent to achieve results, and have a high level of confidence and self-belief in themselves. Because of these qualities, they are always passionate and serious about their business, which also makes them very demanding. They know what they want, and they will bend over backward to ensure that others follow their instructions to the letter.
The Resilience
Successful entrepreneurs experience setbacks just like everybody else. However, for them, setbacks are only temporary conditions that can bring about positive outcomes if tackled in an optimal way. Entrepreneurs experience their fair share of criticism, rejection, and failure. They go through intense fears and also make terrible and costly mistakes. However, these circumstances never phase them. They pick themselves up, learn from the experience, and just keep moving forward with more determination than ever before. This is the kind of resiliency that keeps propelling them forward to higher levels of achievement.
The Optimism
Entrepreneurs understand that the vast majority of people will not believe in them, or in their vision. They’ve heard people tell them time and again that what they’re doing is impossible, and that failure is inevitable. But in such instances, what seems to deter them, only encourages them to work harder to prove people wrong. In many respects, it is this optimism in them, that helps them thrive under pressure and perform at peak levels when their backs are against the wall.
The Creative Mindset
Entrepreneurs are also highly inquisitive, curious, creative and innovative. They’re charismatic, reliable, well organized and always take personal initiative to get the job done. They have the ability to create a transformational power in their product or service, which provides high value on the back-end — thereby turning customers into raving fans. Their creativity goes the extra mile and that is essentially what helps drive long-term growth and success.

Integrity as a Value
Entrepreneurs are individuals who have a strong work ethic, high standards and expectations of themselves and others. They are independent, very ambitious, disciplined and resourceful. They believe in the fact that together everyone achieves more. They are honest to themselves, their team and their idea. Integrity is a non-negotiable value for a true Entrepreneur.
Visionary with foresight
Entrepreneurs are motivated every day by a compelling vision that drives them forward. Their vision is part of everything they do and part of everything they are and embody. This helps them to stay focused on the short-term. They understand the value of planning ahead and the need to be following a plan of action which helps them to accomplish their vision.
Astute Nature
Entrepreneurs who are astute in business matters easily could turn any transaction profitable. They can notice and understand things clearly. They never discriminate and are very clever with good judgment in trivial situations. It is this quality of astuteness which makes them identifiable in the crowd easily.
Risk-taking Courage
Entrepreneurs innately believe that Life without Risk is a Life without Growth. They are courageous by instinct and are willing to walk into the unknown with confidence. They are willing to attempt challenging, tricky and exigent tasks in order to achieve their goal. Their cliché is, if you want something you’ve never had, you have to do something you’ve never done.
Self Motivation
This simplest form of force drives Entrepreneurs to achieve the unthinkable. Their ability to motivate themselves is the most crucial skill they possess. This drives them to keep going even in the face of setbacks, take up opportunities, and show commitment to what they want to achieve. This is their Expecto Patronum to wade off any negativity that may face them on their path to success.
So ask yourself: Do you truly have what it takes to become an entrepreneur?
