Entrepreneurial Life Skills
Let me ask you two questions –
1. When you think of an entrepreneur, what skills come to mind?
2. Why is it that 50% of all new businesses fail within the first five
years?
Surveys have been taken to get the answers to the first question. If you
answer the following, you're in agreement with what most people think:
• risk taker/maverick
• visionary/creative
• passionate/driven
• courageous
• action taker
• lifetime learner
All of those qualities are necessary if you want to be a successful
entrepreneur. But that's only half the story. Have you ever heard the old
expression," What gets you there might not keep you there."? That's oh
so true for entrepreneurs.
