Janice explained that her passion for her small business was waning as the reality of her 2005 financial and business results were revealed in her tax preparation. She was worried that her business would go under if she didnt do something real soon. As we started our session, I asked Janice what she needed to feel successful again in her business. Without hesitating, Janice said, "I need to know I can be a successful entrepreneur! Ive been working harder than I ever imagined for less money - and Im starting to feel like I have a J.O.B. again!" As I did a little digging, I realized that Janice, like many entrepreneurs, started her business because she didnt want to work for someone else anymore but she had NO IDEA what it takes to be successful. So, knowing that Janice is not alone, I thought Id share 13 Attributes of the Wealthiest, Happiest, and Most Successful Entrepreneurs on the Planet. Check in with yourself and see how many of these attributes you have. 1. Has high self confidence. You have a belief in yourself that you can do it. 2. Does not consider failure as an option. You recognize that failure is a necessary step to finding what does work. 3. Able to move from ambiguity to clarity. You recognize that confusion, chaos and lack of clarity are all pieces of the "playing full out" puzzle. You have a process that allows you to move through this phase into a state of power and momentum. 4. Has perseverance and discipline. You know that every day you must focus on what MUST be done, not what you feel like doing. You engage in consistent, supportive habits. 5. Has a plan yet is "flexible." The key to massive results is setting your mind on a desired outcome while being willing to "go with the flow" so the idea can expand and grow with the changing environment. 6. Sets and attains realistic goals. In my work, the only difference between goal talkers and goal getters are how realistic you are about your time management and abilities. 7. Takes calculated risks. Risks are necessary - but they must be tempered against what is good for you and your business. Learn what your high payoff opportunities are. 8. Equally skilled in sales, marketing and "craft." Its not enough to love what you do; you must become masterful at bringing in the business opportunities. Otherwise you will be the best kept secret in the world. 9. Has financial backing/funding sources. To truly achieve wealth, you must have access to financial leverage. As the saying goes, "It takes money to make money." 10. Enormous passion and drive for the work. When the going gets tough (and it will) the one thing that will keep you going is your passion. You have to get up every day believing that what you do is so vital, so important and so necessary that you are willing to overcome any obstacles in your way. 11. Willingness to learn. You recognize that the minute you know it all, you are done. Bigger successes come from continuing to learn, grow and evolve your mind and your goals. 12. Surrounded by other successful entrepreneurs. You invest your time, money and energy in people who are playing a big game. Choosing an environment to tap into collaborative opportunities, brainstorming and big thinking is your way to leaping forward. 13. Has good health and unbounded energy. The one thing that is precious that cant be bought once it is gone is your energy. You make a commitment to maintaining a good health regime as a priority, not a last resort. Do you find that you are missing a few of these? Or maybe you feel a little rusty on a point or two? Thats OK. Develop a training plan for yourself on how you will learn and develop the attribute. Set a three month and six month goal and watch your success begin to soar. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Melanie Benson Strick offers keynotes speeches, mentoring, coaching, training and products designed to get people out of overwhelm and onto the success fast-track.
