Cultivating the 12 Traits You Need to Succeed

Entrepreneurs come in all the shapes and sizes and have a variety of experiences that have helped them along the way. However, even though each may conduct their business in a different fashion over a variety of industries, there are a number of identifiable traits they share. Where do these traits come from? Well, surely, some are simply instinct, while others have been acquired over time. However, each one, even
if it is a matter of instinct, can be learnt and applied by nearly everyone.

Entrepreneurs don’t have exclusive abilities that are impossible for others to adopt. After all, they were born the same way you were and grew up one day at a time, just like you.

Let’s take a look at the common traits almost all successful entrepreneurs possess. By adopting them, you can increase your chances of succeeding in the world of self-employment.

1) Curiosity: This is the trait that fuels the fire. When you’re curious about a particular business or industry, it serves as a constant motivator to innovate and succeed. When a person is curious, they are always looking for new ways of doing things, and will likely always be trying to push the envelope, while carrying the business even further.

2) Motivation: If you’re going to throw yourself into something without any guarantee of success, you have to be motivated. Your motivation can be charged by a will to discover, succeed, improve or fill a void in the industry of choice, or even your personal life. The key, however, is to avoid being motivated by money. When numbers become the main motivator — and not enjoyment or love — you will limit your own creativity and even interest in your business.

3) Love: You must be in love with your business. If you’re not, it will be difficult to put in the work and time to nurture and grow it. Some would even say that it should not only complement your life, but also become your life. After all, entrepreneurs aren’t guaranteed a paycheck, so they have to work intensely to ensure one arrives. This can require long hours and it has to be enjoyable for it to be successful, or else it may be too easy to give up.

4) Opportunistic: It’s important to learn how to look at things analytically from alternative angles. Doing this helps you spot new and exciting opportunities, and break free from traditional ways of doing things, which increases your ability to innovate. Start questioning things and taking some more time to think about traditions, thus opening your mind to different outlooks and approaches, allowing you to see things where others can’t.

5) Thick-skinned: No entrepreneur has had it easy. They’ve all likely been told their ideas won’t work — that they are dreamers — and experienced failure countless times. To be successful, you must let these bumps in the road trickle easily from your back, and stay focused on your goals and belief in your idea. You have to remember that, due to your analytical and opportunistic approach, your viewpoint will be unique compared to many others who simply choose to see things as they are. Their inability to understand your perspective shouldn’t impact your view of what you can achieve. In my next article, I’ll go over the remaining traits of a successful entrepreneur.
