qualities that most all
entrepreneurs possess…

4. • First, to become a
successful
entrepreneur you must
do what you enjoy.

5. • According to an article
published by
Entrepreneur.com, “What
you get out of your
business in the form of
personal satisfaction,
financial gain, stability and
enjoyment will be the sum
of what you put into your
business… if you don’t
enjoy what you’re doing,
chances are you won’t
succeed,” (25 Common
Characteristics of
Successful Entrepreneurs).

you do, it will reflect on
the success of your
business.

habits over the years that

tasks in motion, to looking
at long-term business
goals, planning is an
important aspect of all

positive business image than
just your average boss or
company CEO.

when it comes to using
imagination and creativity
to create and maintain a

company is portrayed so
that all prospects can view
it in a positive light.

12. • Fourth, entrepreneurs

relationships with their
employees and customers

employees on both personal and professional relationships is

success, and to want
success means that
you take what you
do very seriously,
even if it means
sacrifices must be
made for the sake of
your business.
