Are You A Budding Entrepreneur?

What qualities make a good business leader? We often hear about what kind of personality type will be successful in business. Frequently the focus is on the most obvious attributes, such as coping well with stressful situations or the ability to make hard decisions when it matters. There seems to be a consensus that a potential business leader must be driven by profit, success and possessed of a laser like focus on their goals.
But it takes much more than this to be a business leader, and the qualities that matter the most may come as a surprise.

We spoke too soon, this one is no surprise. Of course a good entrepreneur has to be passionate about business. Passion for the work and industry is what drives development and success. It’s what keeps business leaders achieving their goals, and then deciding on new ones to work towards. Loving the work is what keeps entrepreneurs heading back into the office every day, even if things are not going well, and it’s what drives them to find solutions to problems rather than just give up.

Business entrepreneurs are often found to be putting the needs of others ahead of their own desires even if this impedes their own goals for financial success or security. They might be willing to put in the longest hours or take the lowest wage in order to make sure their staff and clients are happy. They will seek ways to make their business successful that do not just focus on profit, but on staff satisfaction or customer happiness.

Entrepreneurs tend to be driven by their love for their family and their desire to create stability and security in their personal lives. They focus on health and well being and look for working opportunities that will allow them to have flexibility and freedom over their work-life balance.

Entrepreneurs tend to have their lives wrapped up quite tightly in their work, financially and personally. Many entrepreneurs report that their main income and assets are directly tied to their business. Entrepreneurs also tend to be ‘on’ all the time. That is to say, they will respond to work calls and emails even out of office hours and accept that to be successful they will have to make certain sacrifices.

Entrepreneurs are found to care. They consider giving charitably or supporting society to be a vital component of their business and life and studies have shown that business owners tend to value giving charitably more than non business owners.

Do any of the above sound familiar? If we’re describing you, you may have the qualities you need to be a successful entrepreneur who can grow and develop your own small business.
