I. Introductory Concept

Do you know successful local entrepreneurs in your barangay? How would you describe their personality? You are probably wondering how they achieved their goals. Do you also want to be a successful entrepreneur someday?

You may be thinking of some big business idea but being an entrepreneur requires much more than big ideas. A true entrepreneur possesses a unique cocktail of skills and characteristics that enable him to beat the odds and go after his dreams. So, what does an entrepreneur need to succeed? It would be nice to have a handbook to tell us whether or not we have the ‘E factor’ that makes a great entrepreneur. But the truth is, there’s no discernible formula for success, but there are a few traits that successful entrepreneurs tend to have. Are you ready to learn those traits?

In this lesson, you are going to discover the common characteristics all successful entrepreneurs possess.
