I recently posted this on my blog (My Quest to Success). How does your personality compare to the typical entrepreneurs traits set out my John G. Bush?
John G. Burch [Business Horizons, September 1986] lists traits typical of entrepreneurs:
A desire to achieve
The push to conquer problems, and give birth to a successful venture.
Hard work
It is often suggested that many entrepreneurs are workaholics.
Desire to work for themselves
Entrepreneurs like to work for themselves rather than working for an organization or any other individual. They may work for someone to gain the knowledge of product or service that they may want to produce.
Nurturing quality
Willing to take charge of, and watch over a venture until it can stand alone.
Acceptance of responsibility
Are morally, legally, and mentally accountable for their ventures. Some entrepreneurs may be driven more by altruism than by self-interest.
Reward orientation
Desire to achieve, work hard, and take responsibility, but also with a commensurate desire to be rewarded handsomely for their efforts; rewards can be in forms other than money, such as recognition and respect.
Optimism
Live by the philosophy that this is the best of times, and that anything is possible.
Orientation to excellence
Often desire to achieve something outstanding that they can be proud of.
Organization
Are good at bringing together the components (including people) of a venture.
Profit orientation
Want to make a profit; but the profit serves primarily as a meter to gauge their success and achievement.
As you read my blog and get to know me you will begin to see many of these characteristics lie in myself.
