Three Traits of a Successful Entrepreneur

Tue, 28 Feb 2012 17:31:33 -0500

Entrepreneurship is an extremely rewarding career choice. However, it can also be very stressful since starting a new business venture can be very demanding. With right set of skills and by developing desirable traits of character, you can ensure that your enterprise goes on to be a success.

Moreover, having such desirable qualities simplifies the process for you up to a certain extent. Read on for three traits that can make you a successful entrepreneur.

Willingness to Experiment

If you plan to exist in this world of extremely high competition, you need to think out of the box and offer something unique to the customer base. Coming up with things that are already existing in the market does not give you the required recognition.

Moreover, it takes a lot of time for the recognition to come and even when it does, you remain as one among the many and cannot carve your own niche.

On the other hand, do something novel and you will find yourself becoming popular very quickly. So, if you want to be a successful entrepreneur, you need to be willing to experiment.

What works in your favor is the fact that the consumer base these days is very open to experimenting with new ideas. Unlike the past, when it took a lot of time for businesses with a new outlook to convince people to try their products, the present day consumer base likes novel things.

Bringing novelty in the product or service that you offer, in your approach towards promotions and marketing and your efficiency in customer service can make you successful as an entrepreneur.

Planning

While novelty is your strongest weapon, planning is the fuel that runs your enterprise. Before you break ground for your new venture, make sure that everything from finances, infrastructure, project schedule to after launch activities such as marketing and promotion are planned.

Think of all the things that can go wrong and have contingency plans in place for any untoward happening. During the course of executing your plans, unexpected things might come up despite meticulous planning. Here is where you have to trigger your impromptu leadership and management capabilities and face the problem headlong.

Planning also helps you keep your goals in focus and never be get diverted from it. It is important to note that planning cuts does a lot of unwanted expenses as well.

Persistence and Determination

It takes a bit of time for people to know about your business and understand why it is a better option when compared to others. So, do not give up half heartedly.

On the contrary, your perseverance and determination should be focused on analyzing the continuously evolving market conditions and enhancing your enterprise to keep up with the market trends.

See how you can bring more novelty in your enterprise, how you can alter your business plans and strategies to meet current demands and how you can hold on the customer who visits your business once.

With these traits, along with self confidence and faith in your vision, you can be an entrepreneur par excellence and establish a strong foothold in this competitive arena.

“We came, We saw, We destroyed, We forgot” by William Blum

An updated summary of the charming record of US foreign policy. Since the end of the Second World War, the United States of America has …

1. Attempted to overthrow more than 50 governments, most of which were democratically-elected.
2. Attempted to suppress a populist or nationalist movement in 20 countries.
3. Grossly interfered in democratic elections in at least 30 countries.
4. Dropped bombs on the people of more than 30 countries.
5. Attempted to assassinate more than 50 foreign leaders.

In total: Since 1945, the United States has carried out one or more of the above actions, on one or more occasions, in the following 69 countries (more than one-third of the countries of the world):

Afghanistan

Albania

Algeria

Angola

Australia

[…]

Australia? What?

Nuclear testing, I guess. Unless Harold Holt…

the source is a chapter from a book titled “40. Australia - 1973-1975: Another free election bites the dust” … what that’s implying i don’t really know.

I would’ve thought it could’ve been the pressure the U.S. were putting on australia to implement a SOPA like policy, because ISPs here seemed more submissive and easily defeated. That stuff wikileaks revealed.
