Traits/Qualities of Successful Entrepreneurs
1. Full of determination
To be a successful entrepreneur it is important to set clear goals along the way. Growing business, increasing sales and hiring new employees require several micro-goals within them to be executed successfully.This type of workload and challenge is enough to stop many people from pursuing the entrepreneurial career path. One has to be determined from the beginning to be successful. If one isn’t fully determined there is a good chance to crumble under the pressure.
2. Risk Taking
Some of the most successful entrepreneurs took major risks, and they paid off in a big way. Entrepreneurs are risk takers ready to dive deep into a future of uncertainty. But not all risk takers are successful entrepreneurs. Successful entrepreneurs have will to risk time and money on unknowns, but they also keep resources, plans and bandwidth for dealing with “unknown” in reserve. When evaluating risk, a successful entrepreneur always thinks that is this risk worth the cost of career, time and money? And, what will he do if this venture doesn’t pay off?
3. High level of confidence
Entrepreneurs that have a high level of confidence are able to get the job done even under the most stressful conditions. They understand that big challenges breed big rewards. This is the same mentality that allows successful entrepreneurs to spot an opportunity when most just see a possible challenge. When most focus on the challenge, a successful entrepreneur focuses on the finish line and the end reward.

There will always be someone claiming to be the next greatest thing.A successful entrepreneur always stay sharp,through constant learning about the competitors and the industry.
5. Understands failure is part of the game
Failure is one of the secrets to success, since some of the best ideas arise from the ashes of a shuttered business. A successful entrepreneur knows that failure is part of success. He will take those failures and use them as learning experiences. Real world experience, even failing, will teach more than what one would ever learn in a classroom.
6. Passionate
Passion fuels the drive and determination required to be successful. If one isn’t fully passionate about what he/she is doing the added stress and obstacles will build up on shoulders and eventually be responsible for collapse.
