It has been a debate whether an entrepreneur is born or made. I personally think that some people are gifted with some set of skills to be an entrepreneur. However, skills are obtainable. I have read some articles about the character of successful entrepreneurs, and I took a conclusion that there are 10 basic signs that a person is suitable to be an entrepreneur.

Enthusiasm to build

Some people are happy to spend their time working on crafting projects, playing Lego, building sand castles, decorating their room, and more. Entrepreneurs somehow have those same interest. They build and grow a company. It takes time and effort, but these people are just love doing it.

Confidence

People with confidence have a strong believe in themselves. Starting a company require a confident to do something they have never done before. The confident affects others and it is powerful enough to create an impact and make ideas happen.

Curiosity

When some people are being too result-oriented, some other tend to be curious about the process. Some business ideas come out in a form of question. Why is there no product to help me do this? Why do they need to do it that way? Is there any better way? When people asked a lot of questions and found the answer, they might be able to solve other people’s problem.

Impatience

Some people just don’t wanna wait for a chance or improvement. They just want to do it themselves. This is a good start of an entrepreneurship.

Independence

Often, entrepreneurs need to take responsibility and make decisions by themselves. There are times when the bitter hits and there is nobody around, or even worst when there are a lot of people depend on the leader. An entrepreneur has to have an autonomy and be able to motivate and stay strong on their feet.

Disobedience

Without initiatives, we are just a product of education, family, and social culture. There are few people who are brave enough to break some norms, swim against the stream, and make a change. There are many ways to see things, entrepreneurs are those who are able to have a different perspective of many opportunity and situation.
