Wondering what it takes to be an entrepreneur? Well, unfortunately, there is not a manual on how to become a successful one but there are certainly some personality traits that most successful founders share. Let us delve into the most common 5 personality traits all entrepreneurs have.
1. Passion
2. Resilience
3. Goal-Oriented
4. Creativity
5. Risk-Takers
Another classic one. Entrepreneurs thrive outside their comfort zone, they do not see opportunities as risks but as rewards. They are willing to try out new concepts even though success is not guaranteed. Does this mean they are not scared of taking risks? No, they also experience fear but the difference lies in how they use that fear, namely as a motivator rather than a brake.
