Personality Characteristics of successful entrepreneurs
Starting a business is an ultramarathon. You have to be able to live with uncertainty and push through a crucible of obstacles for years on end. Entrepreneurs who can avoid saying no ,have a better chance of finding their market and outlasting their inevitable mistakes. An entrepreneur has a unique characteristic which is the willingness to make big decisions and adapt instantly if needed and the bloody-mindedness and a willingness to drag an idea kicking and screaming into the world.
That extra reservoir of energy that you can draw on regularly when everyone else has hit the wall is expected of an entrepreneur. An entrepreneur should have the ability to tune out noise and focus on the goal, even if people are questioning it continuously. They are always learning, always striving to find all the hidden opportunities to solve problems others overlook. They hold a strong and unshakable belief in whatever they do, this translates easily into amazing products/solutions and devoted customers. They harness the ability to always do what is right. They aren’t easily discouraged by perceived failures and they don’t allow setbacks to discourage them.
They understand their big picture end goal, but are able to improvise without stagnating to keep their business fresh and relevant.It’s commonly assumed that successful entrepreneurs are driven by money. But most will tell you they are fueled by a passion for their product or service, by the opportunity to solve a problem and make life easier, better, cheaper.One of the defining traits of entrepreneurship is the ability to spot an opportunity and imagine something where others haven’t.Self-confidence is a key entrepreneurial trait. You have to be crazy-sure your product is something the world needs and that you can deliver it to overcome the naysayers, who will always deride what the majority has yet to validate.
And all these traits are observed in most of the successful entrepreneurs like Satya Nadela, Sameer Gehlaut, Sundar Pichai, Varun Manian Gautam Adani, Rahul Sharma and many more. They are true sign of inspiration for many budding young entrepreneurs
