What Does It Take To Be an Entrepreneur?
It's a long word, entrepreneur, and it can be a bit
intimidating, conjuring images of outgoing people who seem to
always know where the next big thing in business is coming from.
However, there are qualities to the entrepreneur that are in
many of us, and you can find your inner entrepreneur and work
toward a more satisfying career, whether you choose to work in a
traditional format or open your own business.
Develop Your Inner Entrepreneur
Many qualities of the entrepreneur can be learned and developed.
The spirit that drives successful businesswomen is sometimes an
innate thing, and this shouldn't be disqualified. However, this
spirit, when combined with personal drive and common sense
business applications can lead to great things. You can
encourage your inner entrepreneur and learn the tools.
What makes an entrepreneur? While there is no set list, the
following qualities tend to be common among those who "have what
it takes."
* The ability to set clear, measurable goals
* The ability to seek out information and resources to reach
your goals
* Leadership qualities
* Motivation
* A competitive spirit
* An idea or better way to do things
* Experience or knowledge of your specialty (niche)
* The willingness to do what it takes to succeed
All of these traits can be learned or developed. Sometimes
simply knowing what you want is enough to kick your motivation
and entrepreneurial spirit into gear. This is where determining
and setting goals can be very useful. If you haven't done so
recently, take the time to work on your goals. Read a book,
enroll in a seminar, or simply sit down with a pen and paper (or
keyboard and monitor). Successful entrepreneurs have a strong
sense of direction.
Once you know where you want to go, you can figure out what you
need to get there. This may be answered easily or it may require
some research. If you need help determining how and where to get
information, consider using local and industry-specific
organizations. The local chamber of commerce or women in
business
organizations can provide a wealth of information. Join
organizations specific to your industry as well. These
organizations are often worth the cost of membership.
Organizations are also a great way to practice leadership
skills, such as making presentations, volunteering and leading
committees, and networking. If you're not comfortable with or do
not have many opportunities to practice your leadership skills,
organizations can be a great way to begin and there's often less
pressure, which can make it easier. You may feel much more
comfortable asking people to support a good cause financially
before you start meeting with venture capitalists to fund your
new product line.
To help with motivation and your overall business drive,
consider listening to motivational tapes and attending seminars
and conferences. Sure, some of these are filled with a lot of
hype and little applicable information--but many others have
some good, solid advice. Do some research, use the library, and
ask others for suggestions.
Keep an ongoing journal or file of ways to improve the way you
pitch a product or provide a service. Observe and research your
competition. What are they doing right? What are they doing
wrong? How can you do it better? Write it all down, even if it
seems like an idea you'll be sure to remember, as those are
often the ones that slip our minds.
If you want to have the entrepreneurial spirit, observe and
model other entrepreneurs. Talk with them, learn how they think,
and start acting and talking that way yourself. Develop your
entrepreneurial skills, and before you know it, you'll be
mentoring the next up-and-coming businesswoman yourself.
