Entrepreneurs are born, not made. If you have an entrepreneurial mindset, you will know it. Successful entrepreneurs share three core attributes:
Leadership ability
At some point, you will see something that no one else sees. You will be able to develop a vision based on what you see and then convince others to commit time and money to help you explore opportunities and options. This is why founder-led businesses have greater success — the founders establish stronger corporate culture, define opportunities, and then provide the leadership needed to attract investors and employees.
An entrepreneur has the ability to create a vision that others usually can’t initially see themselves, and then serve, in effect, as the “backbone” of that vision.
Single-minded obsession
To put it bluntly, building a business is incredibly hard and requires careful attention to detail. Let’s face it: A company founder has to drive it all, tracking every detail and becoming obsessed with the company’s success. It’s not a lifestyle — it’s more like a disease, almost a form of addiction. Starting a company is not for the faint of heart.
Resilience
The stress that entrepreneurs experience is almost impossible to describe. Obviously, starting a company is nothing like working for a company.
But what you never do is give up. You have to be resilient, tenacious, and persistent no matter what.
No great businesses would be built if every entrepreneur gave up when things got tough. It gets back to those three characteristics of great entrepreneurs. When things get tough, remain obsessed and resilient as you lead your company to success.
