The Anatomy Of A True Entrepreneur

A person that feels comfortable with the responsibility of starting a business venture has a unique understanding of their purpose on earth and their relationship with service to humanity. True entrepreneurship is not about money but service to humanity.  This short content explains in simple terms the make-up of these persons and that it is alongside these qualities that money comes as a by-product.

Always logical and calculated

The ideal entrepreneurs depend on knowledge, understanding and wisdom to make informed decisions. The true entrepreneur seeks knowledge and understanding like a lion panting after water, and knowing what it takes to make an idea a reality is wisdom. All decisions are made with data, information and logic to reach the right people at the right time. True entrepreneurs evaluate and iterate their choices to ensure that their approach to problem-solving yields significant results.

They Stay Motivated and focused

Staying motivated and focused arises from the entrepreneurs having a genuine interest in what they are doing and finding meaning in them. This process will involve regular goal-setting that is SMART(Specific, Measureable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound), with targets to meet that are time-bound. The team working on the project is motivated by the leadership of the entrepreneur, through their consuming vision and passion for the interest.

Stay confident and outgoing

True entrepreneurs stay confident and outgoing because they believe in the power and benefit to humanity of their motivation and interest. Even death threats cannot derail their conviction, faith and hope in their interest. So, the capitalisation of their idea into a business venture changes the course of humanity and becomes their confident hope and joy. Once the entrepreneur has been well informed about the product or service, they run along with the self-confidence to execute their ideas with a proper schedule of operation, and nothing can stop them.

Stay courageous with risks

Courage demands bravery in the presence of risk and failure. Being comfortable with taking risks is a vital aspect of a business venture. In order to grow and succeed with the business venture, it is important to understand what risks are worthwhile and not be impulsive. Courage with logic, conviction and hope ensures that a true entrepreneur obeys their spiritual intuitions that predicts the future vision of the business venture. The vision and mission of any business venture is resident with the entrepreneur and leader of the company.

Maintain strong work ethics

Work ethics is a belief that there is dignity in labor. This implies that work and diligence have a moral benefit and inherent ability, virtue or value to strengthen character and the abilities of the entrepreneur. Strong work ethic comprises a set of values centered on the importance of hard work and service to humanity. Most famous entrepreneurs in history typically possess intense, go-getter personalities. They possess diligent and resilient attributes that distinguish them from business managers.  A true entrepreneur knows that nothing just comes to you, it has to be earned, so quality and good operating procedures are essential elements of continual improvement..

Always creative and Innovative

Creativity and innovation are typically centered around original ideas and knowledge, which unleashes potential for conversion into a business venture. Innovation and creativity are integral parts of business idea generation. These two attributes make a business stand out as a viable solution to society’s problems. Being creative with products, services and operations appeals to both consumers and employees alike as it helps develop new ways of improving an existing product or service to optimize the business. These traits allow the entrepreneur to think outside the box beyond traditional solutions. Through these traits, the true entrepreneur develops new, interesting, potential and yet versatile ideas that come to light to give a competitive edge to their business.

Stay patient and persevering

A true entrepreneur must have the ability to accept or tolerate delay, problems or suffering without becoming annoyed or anxious. In addition, the entrepreneur must continue in steadfast effort, belief and hope, in spite of the discouragement or difficulty associated with transforming the ideas into a business venture. Most business people understand that success does not happen overnight. The most successful businesses are formed over long periods of sustained hard work in the face of constant problems, stresses and setbacks. Therefore patience and perseverance are the strength of will that the entrepreneur requires to navigate the obstacles and challenges that may occur in the process of business transformation and growth. These traits keep the true entrepreneur focused on their goal and purpose.

Always Passionate and determined

Entrepreneurs that are enthusiastic and passionate are resilient when they face challenges in business. They remain passionate about what they do without counting the cost, but remain focused through a positive outlook to overcome the challenges through the technical problem solving process. So, when an entrepreneur passionately believes in their business venture and refuses to give up, success is bound to follow. For entrepreneurs, there is never enough time in a day as perseverance helps them remain committed to the goal pursuit, and passion provides the focus necessary to achieve the set goal.

Continually building Network

A true entrepreneur must find ways to connect with other professionals on a regular basis. Iron sharpens iron and two are stronger than one. Networking should be done in such a way that it is always beneficial to both parties.Charisma in networking with influencers and customers helps lead to valuable and long-lasting relationships, which are crucial for a business to excel.

Always Versatile and Agile

A true entrepreneur must be capable of building a quality culture into their business venture by example. They must be versatile to such an extent that they are capable of doing many things with competence. When this is accompanied by agility and a quick understanding of the environment, the entrepreneur is ready for unforeseen difficulties and adapts to changes in the process of business venture building and development. Adapting to change is a vital skill when keeping up with consumer needs, competitors and an ever-changing marketplace. Being agile allows the entrepreneur to maintain momentum and keep progressing the business venture to maturity.
