10 D's of Entrepreneurs*

Dream Entrepreneurs have a vision of what the future could be like for them and their businesses.  And, more importantly, they have the ability to implement their dreams.
Decisiveness They don't procrastinate.  They make decisions swiftly.  Their swiftness is a key factor in their success.

Once they decide on a course of action, they implement it as quickly as possible.

Determination They implement their ventures with total commitment.  They seldom give up, even when confronted by obstacles that seem insurmountable.
Dedication They are totally dedicated to their business, sometimes at considerable cost to their relationships with their friends and families.  They work tirelessly.  Twelve-hour days, and seven-day work weeks are not uncommon when an entrepreneur is striving to get a business off the ground.
Devotion Entrepreneurs love what they do.  It is that love that sustains them when the going gets tough.  And it is love of their product or service that makes them so effective at selling it.
Details It is said that the devil resides in the details.  That is never more true than in starting and growing a business.  The entrepreneur must be on top of the critical details.
Destiny They want to be in charge of their own destiny rather than dependent on an employer.
Dollars Getting rich is not the prime motivator of entrepreneurs.  Money is more a measure of their success.  They assume that if they are successful they will be rewarded.
Distribute Entrepreneurs distribute the ownership of their businesses with key employees who are critical to the success of the business.
