Ten Traits of Successful Entrepreneurs
Successful entrepreneurs have many traits in common. Here are ten of those traits that I consider to be very important. A successful entrepreneur... 1. Places the needs of customers or clients first, and takes the time to find out what those needs are. 2. Enjoys the freedom of fulfilling a chosen mission through the fruits of his or her own efforts. 3. Continues ahead through good times and bad, learning valuable lessons from both, and applying those lessons tothe future. 4. Continually looks to bring out the best in others, bringing laughter and friendship to business as well as personal relationships. 5. Respects his or her family and loved ones, and is committed for life to protecting them and their welfare, and supporting their dreams for the future. 6. Knows that life holds no guarantees, and is willing to take detours and adjust plans when needed. 7. Keeps new mission-centered goals in mind for the future when present goals will have been achieved. 8. Knows that worthwhile achievement takes time, and enjoys the happiness of pursuit as well as the pursuit of happiness. 9. Believes in the value of gratitude, honesty and integrity, and is willing to make apologies when necessary. 10. Realizes that at the end of this life, kindnesses and benefits provided to others will be the only accomplishments of importance remaining - not the amount of dollar signs accumulated. © Copyright by Steve Brunkhorst.

Judging Entrepreneurial Ideas Most entrepreneurs constantly come up with new ideas. Whether they are working on another project, driving, or lying in bed, their minds are constantly churning out new products, services and ways of doing things. Selecting a Venture The basic rule is simple: "Find a market need and fill it!" The process of finding the need, and the method chosen to fill it are where the difficulties arise.Based on our opportunity scan, does the market need a product or service that is not currently being provided? Is there a needed product or service currently being provided in a less than satisfactory way? Is some particular market being underserved due to capacity shortages or location gaps? Can we serve any of these needs with some competitive advantage?Remember that a business idea is not a business opportunity until it is evaluated objectively and judged to be feasible.
