From Elon Musk to Lee Byung-chul, Daniel Shin, JH Kim, Lee Sang Hyuk and Bill Gates, if you know any of these names, you might know that they’re one of the most successful entrepreneurs around.
But, what do these top entrepreneurs all have in common so we can learn from them? Let’s look over the eight (8) qualities that all successful entrepreneurs have now.
1. Motivation & Passion
If there is one important trait in an entrepreneurship, it would be passion. It is also the drive behind something that you have built and want to continue to improve on. Motivation will inspire you to enjoy what you are doing and want to continue doing it for a very long time. Your demonstration of passion and motivation will determine your success in any entrepreneurial venture.
2. Ability To Take A Risk
There are certain characteristics of entrepreneurship that will make your ventures successful – and one that is on the top of the list is the ability to take a risk . Starting any business involves a considerable amount of risk of failure. The failure rate of entrepreneurial ventures is high and only the toughest hang on. But, at times, it is absolutely fine to take the “practical” exit route and try something new, instead of continuing to keep your investments sinking in time, money, or energy. Many famous entrepreneurs weren’t successful the first time around. But they had the foresight to know when to cut their losses. Therefore, the courage and capacity to take the said risk are essential for an entrepreneur.
3. Creativity
A lot of people would usually think that creativity is connected to arts, but that may not be entirely true. Creativity identifies solution or an out-of-the-box approach that could benefit the team or the organisation. The ability to be creative and innovate characterises the success of an entrepreneur, because being observant to changes and always reinventing the way they operate is very important.
4. Constant Learning
One of the qualities of an entrepreneur is the ability to adapt the “The more I learn, the more I earn” saying in the entrepreneurial lives. Continuous learning will help you develop your skill set in responding to the ever-changing environment, redefine the way you communicate with people and innovate the way you lead.
5. Strong Communication Skills
One of the most important traits of an entrepreneur learns is how to communicate with others fluently; Even when transmitting new ideas to your team you should sound credible, compelling and easy to understand. For an example Victor Ching, CEO of Miso, an app for pet sitting and cleaning in Korea, realised very early that communicating with people you work with, to keep motivating the workers to provide quality services
6. Goal Oriented
Entrepreneurs are all about setting goals and putting their all into making them real. Leaders must set ambitious targets, translate them into specific metrics and milestones, make them transparent throughout the organisation, and discuss progress frequently. To be goal oriented, entrepreneurs are always planning and organising – dedicating themselves to the discipline of being task oriented.
7. Self-confident
Nobody is born with unlimited self-confidence. If someone seems to have incredible self-confidence, it’s because he or she has worked on building it for years. To gain self-confidence, it helps to visualise yourself as what you want to be. Practice visualising a fantastic version of yourself, achieving your goals. Remember, self-confidence is understanding that you trust your own judgement and abilities.
8. Staying Organised
It’s a rare person among us who doesn’t feel the need to get more organised. Every entrepreneur spends some time to plan and organise the activities he has to do. The secret to being organised is to start with identifying what are your most important tasks for the day and listing out an easy workable task list.
