Success in entrepreneurship isn’t just about your idea or your money. Plenty of people have interesting ideas or a lot of cash to throw around — and they never quite manage to find success in their ventures.

If you want to be an entrepreneur, take a step back and evaluate whether you have the following characteristics. (And remember: if you don’t have these traits now, you can develop them down the road to improve your chances of success.)

1. Self-Motivation

This is the most important aspect of life, in order for us to become successful entrepreneur, we need to motivate yourself. We need to posses this kind of life's character. Most people fail because they themselves were not motivated. We need to be positive always, in order for us to become successful.

2. Understand What You Offer

Being entrepreneur, it is important to know what you are offering. It is important that you have the knowledge of the product and services you are offering. Meaning you need to know how to innovate promote and manage everything accordingly.

3. Take Risks

It is very important for the business entrepreneur to know how to take risk. Why do people fail? it is because they are afraid to take risk and responsibilities, they rather stay comfortable life than to make difficult decisions.

4. Know How to Network

According to Bill Gates

"If I would be given a chance to start all over again, I would choose To network Marketing." this means as entrepreneur, you have to know how to do network marketing. It is very important to connect to whom you know. It is very vital for the managers to know how to use these qualities. To support, Warren Buffet also says, A billionaire, one of the biggest investors, He now invests in network marketing. He has three network marketing company. The reason? he believes in the system.

5. Basic Money Management Skills and Knowledge

Cash flows is what most of the managers taken for granted. Managing day-to-day cash is very important things to consider. Yes, that's true you have accountants and other finance people yet, you are the master control of all the operation of the institution. So it is very important that you have the skills and knowledge how to handle the money matters and most importantly, you have the full knowledge on how money runs as lifeblood of your company.

6. Flexibility

As an entrepreneur, you should be flexible and willing to accept changes. Accept suggestions and be always humble and be teachable. In all of your life, be willing to be corrected. Do not be autocratic. And find extra time to solve problem instantly.

7. Passion

Successful entrepreneurs has the spirit of courage and passionate. Passion is the key to become a very successful person, even others will not cooperate, but if you have the passion and courage to move forward, all the planned activities will be successful. don't loss passion because the moment you will do it, it will gradually pull you down.

These are really great points to achieve success. Very good article. # 6 was the one that stood out to me the most. The rest of the points seem to be very obvious to be successful but # 6 for some is a harder step and was good that you added it as a step in your article. I ran into problems of this nature when I was a manager training people.

Excellent post...I love it especially the reminder to be flexible and willing to accept change.... Thank you.

welcome lets apply them and be part of our journey here.

"i guess i did not use that well"
Don't worry about it. We'll have some fun working it out.
I'm not an expert. I think maybe Kyle has written about this? If not, I'm sure there must be plenty of training here on it.

I suggest that you concentrate on just one for now. Can you PM me your Instagram profile (or whatever it's called?) If you don't mind, I'd like to have a look at the pictures you've posted there.

Lolz : --> I guess I'll have to register for an Instagram account finally... 😉

yes. we will be doin it for now.

that's the spirit and for sharing.

thanks for reading

All valid pints. Great post, thank you.

hello Linda. long time no chat. nice to hear your words. God bless.

Should be valid 'points'. ooops

Excellent well written post. Thanks for sharing.

thank you so much for reading this post.

I have to embody these traits especially the "know how to network".

yes kapatid.

I am a big fan of #7: Passion. If someone does not know why they are doing what they are doing, and have a compelling WHY for doing so when things get tough for the business, failure could become a reality.

"If you know the WHY of your business, the HOW and the WHAT will be easy!"

absolutely correct thanks for the additional knowledge sir. carried.


thanks.
