QUALITIES THAT DEFINE AN ENTREPRENEUR

By -

Each entrepreneurial journey is as
unique as a set of fingerprints.
However, there is a set of common
denominators that tie the most
successful entrepreneurs together.
Here are seven common shared
qualities that set extraordinary
entrepreneurs apart.
1. They are always hustling
“What you lack in talent can be
made up with desire, hustle and
giving 110 percent all the time.” --
Don Zimmer
You aren’t going to see successful
entrepreneurs hanging on the
couch or sleeping in. There’s a
strange disconnect between people
who fantasize about
entrepreneurship and those who
actually do it. Entrepreneurship
certainly does mean total freedom,
but if you really want to do nothing
with that freedom, you’re not going
to survive, much less be successful.

2. They are positive
“I am thankful for all of those who
said no to me. It’s because of them
I’m doing it myself.” -- Albert
Einstein
A positive, optimistic outlook will
take you a long way. Successful
entrepreneurs use positivity to
drive them forward and to believe
when there’s no clear path. When
you’re positive, you have a clear,
calm mind that is open to
possibilities and see opportunities
where others see nothing.

3. They are inquisitive
“Anyone who stops learning is old,
whether at 20 or 80. Anyone who
keeps learning is young. The
greatest thing in life is to keep your
mind young.” -- Henry Ford
This isn’t about book smarts, but
rather the constant thirst for more
knowledge, formal education or
not. All great entrepreneurs have a
natural inquisitiveness and
curiosity that drives them to look at
problems differently to create
unimagined solution.

4. They are relentless
“Never give up on a dream just
because of the amount of time it
will take to achieve it. The time will
pass anyway.” -- Earl Nightingale
The most successful entrepreneurs
on the planet are the ones who
simply won’t give up. They have all
undoubtedly failed at one time or
another, with one project or
business or multiple ones, but they
kept going. The game only stops
when you do. Remember, stay
persistent, determined and
relentless of the life and vision you
desire.

5. They are healthy
“It is health that is real wealth, and
not pieces of silver or gold.” --
Mahatma Gandhi
The best entrepreneurs of every
age know that health is the pillar
and foundation of a quality life.
You have to take care of your body
if you want to be successful.
6. They are authentic
“Be yourself. Everyone else is
already taken.” -- Oscar Wilde
From Richard Branson, Oprah,
Mark Cuban and beyond, the most
successful entrepreneurs are
uniquely, unapologetically
themselves. It can take a
tremendous amount of confidence,
vulnerability and courage to
remain vigilantly authentic, but it’s
one of the most important qualities
of a successful person. Be yourself,
in all your weird and wonderful
uniqueness.

7. They are grateful
“The secret of happiness is to count
your blessings while others are
adding up their troubles.” --
William Penn
Successful entrepreneurs know that
gratitude is the cornerstone of true
wealth. Feel and express true
thanks for the ways in which
you’re already making great
progress toward your vision, and
continue to remember all the gifts
you have instead of counting your
troubles. It will take you far in life
and entrepreneurship.
THIS IS THE INFORMATION MARKET.

HOW TO OPEN UP A FOOTBALL VIEWING CENTRE AND EARN BIG

By -
Nigerians love soccer. Not just Nigerians but Africans and the world in general. We love the blues, gunners and so many others. We wish we could be present in some of these football matches, but as much as we like football, most people still cannot afford to buy a DSTV or subscribe to a cable network TV!
