Character Traits of Crazy Successful Entrepreneurs

As much as some wouldn’t want to agree, there are some different sorts of talents, tricks and traits that are embedded in the very roots of the most successful business men all around the globe. What we do every day gives us what we get every day. These men tried to take a stand against the very vicious circle of the corporate world and the bait of a fixed salary, no doubt they came out with flying colors.

Here are some of the common characteristic traits of famous men compiled and mashed up with the phrase “DO IT”.

D – Desire and Deliver-ability

O – Obsession and Omission

I – Interest and Investment

T – Transparency and Tenaciousness

Desire and Deliver-ability

“Always deliver more than expected.” — Larry Page, co-founder of Google

Hunger is why food exists. Similarly, desire is what leads to the ultimate chasing of your desired goal. Economics tells us human mentality and processing, desires come naturally to us so this can’t be a trait specifically confined to successful entrepreneurs, to differentiate this the additionally managed trait to strike that balance is of deliver-ability. Deliver-ability here simply stands for a result oriented nature. Every next step you take must lead to another step then another, provided it’s not just climbing but climbing to reach a destination.

Obsession and Omission

“If you just work on stuff that you like and you’re passionate about, you don’t have to have a master plan with how things will play out.” — Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook

For attaining and then further retaining an idea or any other thing in general there is a need of needing it. Obsession here refers to the zeal that these entrepreneurs have had back from the time they had no idea about their future transformation from riches to rags. Omission here is used in context of sacrificing what may not be required. A 24-hour day can’t yield an extra hour for you, so then comes the time when you need to prioritize and omit those minutes or hours which may be non-productive even though it is one of your favorite indulgences.

Interest and Investment

“I’m convinced that about half of what separates the successful entrepreneurs from the non-successful ones is pure perseverance.” – Steve Jobs, co-founder and CEO of Apple.

Yeah! Back in school days we did hear things like “If you develop an interest in the subject it will be all the easier to understand and pass”. The statement stands true for most things in life. The very idea of interest lays down the foundation of building something new and unique or something that stands out from the crowd. Investment seems like a financially heavy term, but here it is referred to the investment of time and skills you require to convert yourself from a thinker to an implementer and consequently a performer.

Transparency and Tenaciousness

“When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it.” — Henry Ford, founder of Ford Motor Company

When we talk about market trends, stocks, exchange of ideas, financial advice, improvement plans and so on, we understand how transparency at the right place does not only help you improve your market standards but also knowledge that is further needed to take the best steps for your firm. Tenacious is being firm and strict with an idea. Without this the popular names would have been just another names.

The list of traits that successful entrepreneurs have may be endless but their state of mind and willingness to be better and produce better is derived from the same source of wanting more, working towards it, letting work engulf you, innovate, expand, reach out and never give up despite multiple failures.
