Editor's Notes

  1. In this presentation I will talk about the top six qualities that successful entrepreneurs possess; these qualities set them apart from the crowd.
  2. When an entrepreneur has confidence in himself and his abilities, he is more likely to look for opportunities to succeed in the business world. It is even possible for this self-belief to transfer to others he is working with.
  3. Many successful people say they envision what they want before they actualize it. This is also true for successful entrepreneurs. When you have a goal, you are more likely to accomplish it when you write it down. As you work through business activities, your focus remains strong when you can see the vision. Writing your objectives down on paper or on a vision board also helps you achieve success. It will remind you why you are working so hard for something you may not have achieved yet.
  4. The livelihood of any business is dependent on what habits are in place by the owner. If the entrepreneur brings life to the business it may foster creative energy within the business. Some life giving habits are reading books to gain knowledge and wisdom as well as developing relationships through networking. Vitality is the key to success.
  5. More of our time is spent communicating than not. Within that time of communicating almost half of it is spent listening. In order to be effective in communicating we must, not only hear what others say, but, listen to what they say and internalize it. The discovery of other teammates’ strengths can be found when we listen to what they have to say.
  6. To be successful the entrepreneur must look to the future and not dwell on the past. They may only look at the past if they are willing to learn from it and take responsibility for it. The ability to remain persistent through challenges and apply newly acquired knowledge sets them apart.
  7. Successful leaders are often faced with making decisions about what is good for the business and not necessarily popular. They keep an atmosphere of unity and focus within the team dynamic.
  8. To be successful, you must develop successful habits, not just think good thoughts. You change your habits to create the person you want to be.
