Are you an Entrepreneur?

Entrepreneurs need to think and act differently than most people in order to find success. These types of thinkers use their unique personality to come up with new ideas and approaches, but thinking isn’t quite enough. A true entrepreneur needs more than just a good idea—he or she needs the skills and mindset to make their ideas come to life. Here are eight signs that you have what it takes to be an entrepreneur:

1. You are always trying to make things better. An entrepreneur has to look at things objectively, ask “why?” a lot, and see opportunities at every turn that most others would not be able to see.

2. You are passionate. As an entrepreneur, you will need to consistently work toward something, even if there is no immediate gratification (or paycheck) in it for you. If you have a lot of passion for your ideas, you will be set up for the times in the beginning stages of a business. Even if you are not making money at first, passion allows you to push forward.

3. You are tenacious. An entrepreneur needs to be able to keep going, without giving up, even if it looks at first like something won’t work.

4. You are a self-starter. If you don’t sit around waiting for someone else to take the first step, you might be an entrepreneur. You will need to be able to work at something when no one else will, and tackle issues that arise while seeing them through to completion.

5. You think outside the box. To have a new idea that hasn’t been done before, you need to be able to look at things differently and consider things that others have not. In many cases, this means withstanding being misunderstood by others at first.

6. You are willing to change plans. As important as it is to be persistent and not give up, you also have to be willing to recognize when your approach needs to change. An entrepreneur is able to shift and consistently adjust when things do not work out the way they should.

7. You have people skills. An entrepreneur needs to communicate well with others in order to get people on board with a vision. If you do not have people skills, practice them or partner up with someone who does.

8. You are willing to commit to a lifestyle, not just a job. An entrepreneur will work long hours. You will need to be able to live and breathe your ideas and conjure up a lot of energy.
