What Entrepreneurs Look Like


Have you ever wondered what great entrepreneurs have in common? Successful entrepreneurs, from Henry Ford to Steve Jobs, share similar qualities with one another.  These 4 qualities can help you become a better entrepreneur! 


Take InitiativeWaiting for others to join you in your initiative can slow the wheels of innovation and drag out the process. Instead, practice increasing your initiative by stepping up to the plate and volunteering to lead projects. Entrepreneurs who take initiative in projects and ideas and make things happen are highly valued in the workplace.
Make GoalsCreating short term and long term goals can help you take your business to the next level.  Research shows that when entrepreneurs set measurable goals for themselves, they’re more like to achieve them. Successful goals should inspire you, light you up, stretch you and scare you just enough to make you want to keep going.                                                  
PrioritizeIt’s difficult for entrepreneurs not to take a hands-on approach but sometimes you have to stand back and look beyond today to determine what’s in the best interest of your business and yourself over the long run.  Prioritizing will not only help you stay on top of your work but it will also keep you on course in achieving your goals and objectives.
Renew Your ResourcesYou should avoid getting overly caught up in the high-tech world, but you should also know how to take advantage of using it. Top entrepreneurs buy and read business and marketing books, subscribe to newsletters, and browse websites often. Staying on top of news and using fresh resources will improve your understanding of business and marketing functions and skills.
Even if you don’t have all of these characteristics, don’t fret. Most of them can be learned with practice and by developing a winning attitude! What do YOU think are the must-have qualities for entrepreneurs?
