What do Hugh Hefner and Martha Stewart have in common? While one\u2019s famous for his centerfolds and the other for her centerpieces, they both share a passion for entrepreneurship. This issue we\u2019ll explore the personality traits needed to become a savvy business mogul.<\/p>\n
Goal-oriented<\/b><\/p>\n
All dreams but no action does not an entrepreneur make. If you\u2019re hoping to make it as a business owner, an important guideline to remember is to peel your dreams off the pillow and onto the drawing board. Setting a goal places a deadline and expiry date on ideas, thus making them come to life.<\/p>\n
Strategic planner<\/b><\/p>\n
Here\u2019s when all those arduous hours spent playing Settlers of Catan<\/i> will come in handy. Successful entrepreneurs are constantly strategizing for their next moves and decisions. When problems arise, how quickly and confidently can you formulate a solution?<\/p>\n
Resilient<\/b><\/p>\n
It\u2019s important to remember that while some choices may soar, others may scorch. Successful business owners realize that failed ventures shouldn\u2019t be taken personally. When faced with adversity, hold your head high and bounce back from the blows.<\/p>\n
Creative<\/b><\/p>\n
If one idea fails, it\u2019s time to use another. If you\u2019re having difficulty tapping into the world of innovative options, researching and brainstorming can sharpen those creativity skills. Being a creative person isn\u2019t limited to holding a fine arts degree; sometimes the most creative minds simply find original ways of beating their competition.<\/p>\n
Flexible<\/b><\/p>\n
And this doesn\u2019t mean being a double-jointed contortionist, unless, of course, that\u2019s your business venture. Since owning a business is such a labour-intensive task, it will require long hours and inconsistent sleep cycles. If you\u2019re addicted to the 9\u20135 grind, perhaps it\u2019s time to wean yourself off the routine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
