Qualities That Make a Great Entrepreneur

We live in a rapidly changing world where staid no longer paves the way, instead it’s entrepreneurial flair that blazes a path forward and revolutionises the way we live and work. Icons like Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk immediately spring to mind – profound forward-thinkers that never allowed nay-sayers to stop them from fulfilling their dreams and goals.

There may be no set entrepreneurial mould – by definition it requires adaptability and out-of-box thinking – but there are a few commonly held qualities that most possess that can see them set the world on fire.

Passion and Thirst for Knowledge: There are no half measures in the entrepreneur’s world, they’re dedicated to their work and no amount of time spent working towards their goal is ever wasted. Underpinning that journey to success is a constant thirst for knowledge – a desire to learn more about their chosen field so that it can help them grow their business.

Confident and Disciplined: Self-doubt does not exist for the entrepreneur, their unwavering self-believe leaves no room for fear or hesitation. They have great faith in their abilities and are disciplined enough to eliminate any distractions that may prevent them from taking steps every day to help them achieve their objectives.

Open-minded and Creative: Entrepreneurs understand that every new situation is a business opportunity in the making – they have a growth mindset that allows them to see potential where others see obstruction; and they have the creativity to make and mould those connections into a workable solution.

Determined and Competitive: Perseverance is the entrepreneur’s dogged companion, they are not thwarted by defeat, instead they push through until they succeed – an attitude perfectly personified in the Thomas Edison quote ‘I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.’ And it’s this drive, to be better than everyone else, that propels them forward.
