HOW DO I KNOW, I AM ENTREPRENEURIAL

14-POINT CHECK LIST TO CHECK IF I HAVE ENTREPRENEURIAL FLAIR

Many people worry, and they are concerned if they have what it takes to be an entrepreneur, a successful one at that. Entrepreneurs are shakers and movers in their own ways and this can happen anywhere and at any given time when an opportunity present itself.

Let’s look at the way a person who is entrepreneurial functions and how they respond to situations. While we are at it, I am understanding that there are people who are entrepreneurial but are somewhat restraining themselves for one reason or the other. Now, let go in to the list and if you have more of the following traits you sure have an entrepreneurial bone in you. Remember to have legs does not mean you are a great runner, potential is not DILIVERY.

1. VISIONARY – Entrepreneurs are successful driven and they have something they are working towards, they might not share it honestly ( THEIR WHY), but they have a greater purpose. Some might have a fear of something like poverty or other.

2. CREATIVE – People who see a problem and jump to ‘work on a solution are entrepreneurial.

3. ACTION DRIVEN – They want to do things now, they get an idea and already think who can assist and give a call immediately.

4. ODD ONES OUT - They feel like they don’t belong and not well understood.

5. EMBRACE FAILURE – They are not afraid to fail, they rise fast and with a plan when they fall, they don’t give up even though they might change interest.

6. CIRCLE OF INFLUENCE – Entrepreneurs adopt a learning attitude and surround themselves with intelligent, successful people and they are not shy to celebrate them and to bother them.

7. SELF-MOTIVATED – No time to sleep, a challenge for them is a dare they will face head on.

8. FEARLESS – The truth is no person alive is without episodes of fear, but we characterise them as fearless because entrepreneurs will act despite the feeling of fear. Some, the greater the fear the more determined they are. 9. EXPLORES – They are happy to explore and try new things.

10. WORK HARD AND PLAY HARD – When they work they work and when they play the really play.

11. CASH FLOW OBSESSION – They are very practical they want to see money exchange hands and enjoy the promise it brings and look forward to making it.

12. PRONE TO RISK – They would rather apologise than ask for permission, they are not reckless but do take risk.

13. FLEXIBLE – Entrepreneurs are fixed on a prize but are realistic that there is no one way to achieve a gaol, therefore the develop an easy to adapt and move with the follow when the need arise.

14. ENERGETIC – Entrepreneurs are full of energy, they can’t sit still once they have an idea.

15. CRITICAL OF SELF – Most people who possess entrepreneurial qualities are not afraid to look and be critical on themselves, it is the first step to personal growth.

Which ones do you have, and which ones do you still need to work on. Remember entrepreneurship is a journey and not a destination, on your journey don’t forget to enjoy the trip.
