What does it take to be a successful entrepreneur??

Empire Executives is a team of entrepreneur minded individuals.  Each member of our team is successful, and strives to be on top.  I came across this list of the 20 qualities needed to be a successful entrepreneur.  I found it interesting, and I believe in it whole heartedly.  I am very proud of our team's success, and I believe each possess the qualities it takes to be on top.  So here it goes:

20 QUALITIES NEEDED TO BE A SUCCESSFUL ENTREPRENEUR
  • Successful entrepreneurs have an unwaivering, total belief in themselves and never allow anyone or anything to dispel that belief.
  • Entrepreneurs are self-motivated; they don't need anyone or anything other than their goals to motivate them.
  • Successful entrepreneurs are not people who never fail but all successful entrepreneurs have the capacity to bounce back after failure. Most will talk about their failures as part of their learning curve.
  • Entrepreneurs are driven by a manic need to succeed. This can take the form of money, recognition, fame or power.
  • Successful entrepreneurs are the world's worst losers. They have to win at all costs.
  • Entrepreneurs are decisive, they take risks, they act impulsively on gut feelings.
  • The most successful entrepreneurs know their limitations and surround themselves with people who have the skills they lack.
  • Entrepreneurs are driven and focused on their sales targets at all times.
  • Successful entrepreneurs are prepared to make personal sacrifices in order to succeed.
  • Entrepreneurs are intuitive, recognizing niche markets and business opportunities that others fail to see.
  • The most successful entrepreneurs are multi-taskers with the capacity to cope and deal with several ideas and projects at one time.
  • Entrepreneurs are organized, not necessarily on paper but in their heads and able to maintain information and monitor progress at all times.
  • Entrepreneurs make things happen, they do not spend their time dreaming about success. They get an idea and act swiftly.
  • Entrepreneurs do not recognise limits of boundaries, they set high targets, achieve them and set further goals. They are never satisfied no matter their level of success.
  • Successful entrepreneurs are determined to succeed no matter what it takes.
  • Entrepreneurs are persistent and able to endure rejection and set backs.
  • The most successful entrepreneurs do their research to ensure they have the answers before problems arise.
  • Entrepreneurs are open minded and prepared to listen and learn from everyone.
  • Successful entrepreneurs are professional in their approach to business at all times.
  • The most successful entrepreneurs never stop thinking about business, ideas and business opportunities. Few survive on more than a few hours of sleep a night and most will carry a pen and paper by their bed.
