Great entrepreneurs have a three-step formula that's rarely discussed. I'm not even sure that many people are aware of it at all. But within the stories of great business people, you can track the formula every time.
Formula 1: Great entrepreneurs learn from the best. They identify what really works in business by learning from the best experts in the world. They avoid the self-serving-hyped-up garbage that's marketed as "the next great solution".
Formula 2: Great entrepreneurs learn very well. They systematically study and retain what they're taught. They don't just skim material, breeze through books and yawn through seminars. They absorb, ponder, analyze and review the material again and again.
Formula 3: Great entrepreneurs apply what they've learned. They refuse to be distracted and they focus on their objective. They go and do the work. They pay the price. They take the risks. They understand that no amount of knowledge matters one bit unless it's applied.
10 traits and characteristics that stand out for entrepreneurs:
1. Restlessness - Job hopping and a general discontentment about making money for someone else.
2. Business-minded - You like to read about entrepreneurs and how much money they are making; you automatically calculate how much business companies are doing.
3. Risk-taker - You dabble in the stock market and are open to taking calculated risks. You are always looking for ways to leverage your capital.
4. Self- help - When you read, you are drawn to biographies about successful entrepreneurs, motivational business books and finance. You think that reading fiction is waste of brain cells.
5. Rally - If possible, you like to surround yourself with rich and successful people. Talking about business all day with them is a pleasure.
6. Thinking big - You are known for your lofty ideas and day dreams. You regale your friends and partners with your exciting business strategies.
7. Planner - On your desk are your goals for the week, month, year and the next five years. You have your life planned to the minute.
8. Walk the talk - You get things done. Sometimes, you are known to be impatient.
9. Fired up - Optimism and enthusiasm define you. The word "no" does not exist in your vocabulary.
10. Confident - You are brimming with self-belief and have complete and utter faith in your own capabilities. Naysayers be damned!
