What dose it take to start a successful business?While there‘s no such thing as the perfect entrepreneur--evenBill Gates had made mistakes---a number of personal qualities can help you build a successful business.If you pass muster on most of these traits,you‘re off and running.
You can delegate.No matter how smart and energetic you are,it‘s a mistake to try to attend to every detail yourself.Unless you‘re a solo act,you‘re going to have to trust employees to do their jobs so that you can run the business.
You are a teacher.In order to delegate successfully,you will need people with appropriate skills and they may have to learn some of those skills from you.
You are self-motivated.As a small business owner,you won‘t hava a boss to tell you when to get to work.If that‘s a problem,keep your day job.
You can work with number.You will spend a fair amount of time keeping track of money expenses,revenues,taxs and the like.A math phobia won‘t help.
You don‘t mind making mistake.You will make them;the trick is to learn from them and move on.Not everyone finds that easy to do.
You like to work.Contrary to myth,you don‘t need to be a workaholic to start a successful business.Many entreprenneurs find that it makes more sense to establish a resaonable working pace -- one that lets them strike a balance between work and their
personal lives.That said,don‘t start a business unless you enjoy work.There‘s hoing to be plenty of it.
You don‘t mind selling.You‘ll hava to sell products to customers,of course.You may also need to sell
lenders or other financial backers on prospects of your company.And you‘ll need to convince potential employees to accept jobs with your firm rather than going to work for competition.
You don‘t quit easily.You‘ll encounter abstacles that might stymie some individuals.You‘ll have more success if you are the type of person who relishes such challenges.A dash of optimise helps;it‘s will help you handle the uncertainty that is par
of every venture.
