Entrepreneurship has traditionally been defined as the
process of designing, launching and running a new
business, which typically begins as a small business, such
as a startup company, offering a product, process or
service for sale or hire, and the people who do so are
called Entrepreneurs. It has been defined as the capacity
and willingness to develop, organize, and manage a
business venture.

3. be able to Sell
anythIng
As an entrepreneur you
are selling a lot. You will
have to sell your ideas to
customers, investors and
potential employees. You
sell your skills to these
same audiences.

4. . Don’t leave things
unDone
If you have a problem finishing
things, entrepreneurship is not
for you. You cannot leave a
business almost complete.
Halfhearted attempts at starting
a business will result in a
business failure.

You must be comfortable with
your gut instincts. There is a lot
of information out there, and the
truth is, you can’t gather every
bit of information possible
before making decisions. You
have to be able to have the
judgment to know when to
decide that you have sufficient
information to make a decision
and when you need more.

6. confiDence
Confidence is an
important skill to have.
You should have
confidence in your
ideas, in yourself and in
others. You have to
trust others to do their
job and to do it well.

7. Time managemenT &
planning skills
As mentioned earlier,
time is a finite resource.
If you let time get away
from you, you will have
a hard time starting a
successful business.
Your planner should be
your best friend.

8. CommuniCaTion &
persuasion
It is a skill to be able to
express an idea in a
clear and concise
manner. You should be
able to pick out the most
important concepts of
your ideas and speak
about them with clarity.

9. Courage
A person can be fearless
and stupid. When you have
courage, however, you
recognize the risks, but
take action regardless. You
accept the risk before you
start and try to do what is
possible to mitigate the risk
while moving forward.

10. Learning skiLLs
Learning is a skill. As an
entrepreneur you need to
be a quick learner. You
have to be willing to learn
new skills constantly.
One business owner I
know is a great example
of this.
