6 Traits That You Are An Entrepreneur
By Amanda Watts

These days everyone with a MacBook and a blog think they are
entrepreneurs… but have you really got what it takes to be a successful one?
Does this sound like you?
1. You have no work life balance. No matter how much your friends want you to
go out on a weekend or how much you really need sleep, you just have to get it
done. Yes, there is a home but you have an office in it, you are probably
constantly answering your phone and you don’t switch off at 5 o’clock on a
Friday night.
2. Your business isn’t about YOU! Something worthwhile is driving you forward,
something you believe in or something in this world you want to change.
Remember Richard Branson set up Virgin Atlantic with one plane, not because
he wanted to make money having a fleet of airlines, but because he wanted to
create a plane that he would want to fly on. He wanted to create a great place
for people to work, and an airline people enjoyed. He succeeded because
people were at the heart of his vision.
3. You don’t have a day job. Your idea or product isn’t a part-time job that you
are working on outside your day job, this is something you live and breathe, day
and night.
4. You have passion and are resilient. You don’t let hiccups stop you, and you
are passionate about what you do. If someone questions you, you may listen,
but your gut instinct is what you trust most, and if you get knocked down, you
get straight back up again.
5. You don’t do it for the money. Your business wasn’t set up to make money,
you set it up because you believed in something. You don’t whine that you don’t
have the money, because you are so focused you know the money will follow.
Remember when Zuckerberg set up Facebook he didn’t do it for the money; he
did it because he wanted to rate the look of fellow classmates. Need I say
more?
6. You never, ever quit. If you follow me on Facebook
(www.facebook.com/kprmarketing) you will see regular motivational quotes. My
favourite one is about never, ever giving up. This was put beautifully by Thomas
Eddison; he said: ‘I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.’
Most importantly, Entrepreneurs don’t do what everyone else is doing. They
don’t copy, they don’t whine at other people’s successes and they don’t wish
2. they had more money. They don’t follow the status quo but carve their own
path. Does this sound like you?
