Are You Really an Entrepreneur?
Many people dream of starting their own businesses, but not everyone is cut out for this line of work. Being employed by someone else offers a slew of advantages, from health insurance and matching retirement contributions to a regular schedule and the company of coworkers.
If you’re thinking about striking out on your own, consider carefully whether you have what it takes to be successful.
Self-Confidence
In order to successfully sell yourself to others, you have to be your own biggest fan. If you don’t believe you’re one of the best at what you do, no one else will either.Motivation
You won’t become a successful business person by watching TV all day. Even when you think you have a day to relax, don’t put your assignments off until the last minute.Optimism
You won’t always have a lot of work and you won’t get all the assignments or clients you want. You have to keep pursuing work, maintain a positive mindset.Conclusion
Personal characteristics will have a major influence on your potential to succeed as an entrepreneur. Before taking a financial and career risk, make sure to assess whether your personality will contribute to or hinder your prosperity.Image via SimpleRiches

as a serial entrepreneur myself and co founder of a platform for entrepreneurs,www.efactor.com, i have to say, not very impressive. I my opinion you have to be like a top sportman/woman, be selfish, creative, stuburn, very asocial and willing to risk a lot, unless you are a Bubble entrepreneur and buiding a lifestyle business

This is great. As an entrepreneur myself, I know there are many things I had not considered prior to getting started and things I wish I had known before jumping in.

Great Post! Some people just dream about it, but never make anything about it.

It just like, if you dont believe of the product you sell, how much more the people who will buy.
