Succesful entrepreneurship


What makes one a successful entrepreneur?

One of the key qualities are creativity traits, the ability to face any hardship and the skill to build an interactive team that works well together. Of course, it would also help if one has an expertise in a certain area of work.

If you want to start a business, it is very important for you to master the skills that will be able to help you take the business forward. You have to learn to take the advantage of opportunities that present themselves to you.

One of the most important qualities to have to be a successful entrepreneur is sound business ethics. You have to treat people with respect and fairness, have integrity n your dealings with them and lead your team ethically. This is one quality that will take you a long way with the people that you deal with.

Optimism is another useful ingredient to have. It is an asset that will help you get through the difficult times when you first begin your business. Being visionary is another good quality to possess. Grasping the big picture, creating a compelling vision of the business’s future to others and inspiring them to make that vision to come true is a mark of an entrepreneur.

The other traits you need to be a successful entrepreneur include taking the initiative to problem-solve, motivating others, being self-motivated, having the drive to work hard to realise your goals, being brave enough to take risks and make decisions in the face of uncertainties and being resilient enough to pick yourself up if things don’t go as planned. And constantly learning from your mistakes. You must also learn to build good relationships with the people who work closely with you i.e. your team, customers, suppliers, investors and more.

Good leadership qualities is imperative and trust others to do a good job and delegates. Communications skills also play a role in your success. Though it is your business, have the ability to listen to others’ opinions. Arrogance and insisting that you are always right can often cause discord and unhappiness. Be emotional aware of the people around you. The more aware you are, the easier it will be for you to work with others. Being emotionally aware can also work in your favour especially in helping you to gauge the mood when negotiating with others.

As mentioned earlier, having critical and creative thinking skills will help you go a long way in being successful. To be a successful entrepreneur, you will often be required to come up with fresh new ideas and make decisions about projects so being able to come up with a variety of ideas be it for new opportunities, recognising opportunities or problem solving would be a good quality to possess.

Having expert knowledge on what you are doing is important but not imperative. Sometimes being business savvy is enough. But you must be goal-orientated. Set goals, create plan to achieve them and carry out that plan.

Having good planning and organising skills is also a plus. And of course, making decisions, especially the tough ones. But you need knowledge in several areas to be able to run a good business. Having business knowledge and finding a business model that best suits and works for you is important. Once you know what you want and understand the market you are attempting to venture into get an understanding of what you need to make that business successful. Don’t be afraid to get advice from people who have the knowledge or expertise to guide you.

Assess your skills and work hard and you will be successful in running your business. But you must remember that there is no real right set of characteristics to being successful. Sometimes certain general traits work well. Get a sense of your strengths and weaknesses and see if you are capable of being an entrepreneur. Not everyone has the capacity for it. See if it fits your personality and if it does seem like the perfect career decision for you, then go for it.
