Curiosity, ability to cope, determination and initiative are indispensable characteristics of an entrepreneur.

It is my personal customized expanded view of the Princeton Entrepreneurial Innovation Checklist created by Eugene Raudsepp, from the Princeton Creative Research. The first personality trait is curiosity. So why should you be curious? because it fills a need to know more. Also because as you acquire new knowledge new opportunities show up. The more opportunities you have available the more your chances of success. So curiosity is very important in achieving success. The second personality trait is ability to cope. As change come around which is always the case, your workload, procedures, time frames and even plans change also. Your ability to cope is a key to success. You will have an advantage over your competition when your coping skills transform your business into a more competitive enterprise in the face of change. The third personality trait is determination. There is no successful entrepreneur that was not determined. The freedom that each individual carries to obtain results is a force that can not be stopped. Without determination, ideas will not turn into plans, plans will not turn into action, and actions will not turn into progress. A determined individual will understand that it might take time to achieve results, which is where patience comes into play, but because of that determination goals will be achieved, sooner or later. The fourth personality trait is initiative. Without initiative all of the things mentioned above will be done by someone else that has it. As you see what needs to be done will you wait for someone to tell you when? Do not wait for that. As we often hear "just do it". Your initiative will mark developed leadership skills and confidence which are also essential to develop the entrepreneur pioneer that is in you. Curiosity, innovation, determination and initiative are four key personality traits of an entrepreneur. If you find yourslef strong in these, then good continue developing them. If you do not find your self strong in these traits, then find ways to develop them, as stated before these traits will help you be a successful entrepreneur. <a href="http://www.businessideascoach.com"><a href="http://www.businessideascoach.com" target="_blank">www.businessideascoach.com</a></a>About the Author: BS Business Management.
