What Does It Take To Be A Solopreneur

This week's Success Circle discussed something all WA members will find interesting. I asked What Does It Take To Be A Solopreneur- What Skills? What Personality? What knowledge?

Our Reasons

One member suggested he went into online business because he had no other option at the time, having just lost his job. I, on the other hand said it's just what I love doing. Others stated they disliked following someone else's orders. In my career coaching work, I hear many retireees stating they need additional income but don't get hired due to their age. So it seems there are a variety of reasons that people choose this path.

What Skills? What Personality? What Knowledge?

I was able to record the following from our discussion:

  • 8 specific skills
  • 1 key knowledge set
  • 5 personality traits
  • 12 personal qualities

That's a lot! And that got me thinking and wondering which of these is the key determinant of success. If you'd like to listen in to our conversation go here.

I'd love it if you would share one thing (skill, quality, trait) that you think determines success in the world of online business.
