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. |
