Being an entrepreneur certainly has its perks. But having the ability to be your own boss requires at least a dozen strong qualities in order to succeed. Cultivating these twelve characteristics of a successful entrepreneur will help ensure eventual success.
1. Honesty – In the world of being in the business of you, honesty is one of the greatest qualities for success. Develop a culture of honesty, both with yourself as well as with your customers. Nobody benefits if you lie to yourself about the workload you are truly able to handle. Likewise, your small business does not yet have the consumer confidence that corporate giants have with the public. Let this be an advantage. Build trust with the customer by demonstrating transparent honesty in every way possible.
