Three Personality Traits all Entrepreneurs and Small Business Owners Must Develop
How do entrepreneurs and successful business people look at the world around them? Success in business is a "mind game" and often hinges on three specific personality traits. And they are not what you might think.
This is the second video I watched from Cliff. Great info and VERY easy to listen to. On to the third video! 🙂
Glad you mentioned fear. I have been seeing it as a weakness. I opened up a company about ten months ago, thanks to Allah it is picking up. The biggest problem that I’ve had is fear. In fact I fear more than when I was employed years back. This fear has increased my ability to read several books, and listen to several audios just to be sure I understand everything people talked about as far as business is concerned. See, fear has added me an advantage of reading more than I used to.
This is a motivating video for anyone thinking about starting a business but isn’t sure. I’ve worked with hundreds of clients and I can tell you that there isn’t an “ideal mold” for a successful entrepreneur – introvert/extrovert/intellectual/blue collar – doesn’t matter. The number #1 trait that all entrepreneurs have is the ability to Execute their idea and not allow their fears stop them. I suppose that would fall under the third trait in this video = “Audacity”!
Thanks
Deepa Maisuria well said 😁
As a book and magazine editor, I say with all sincerity, what a phenomenal cast of characters Cliff Ennico describes in these evergreen stories. I just happened to let another video I was watching roll to the next video and this came up, much to my delight. I’ve already shared it twice. Thanks, looking forward to catching up on the years of Cliff Ennico videos I’ve missed!
This guy is just a real gem. I’m going to watch as many of his videos as I can. Thanks for the great info!
right? much better than gary vee
Cliff, your teachings are foundation material. Cosmetic knowledge will not hep to succeed. I just absorb the wisdom you share. Thank you.
Thank you Cliff for such a presentation full of exceptional value!
Cliff comes across very easy to understand and has good ideas; they make a lot of sense. The second time you listen to the same show, you will understand it more!
Subscribed! Very powerful information here. It is empowering to be connected with people with the same mindset. Awesome share!
I found this lecture to be informative and I know of a few people that can benefit from this advice.
Cliff is hilarious. I love his matter of fact attitude. Gets straight to the point without the fluffy stuff.
Love every video I have seen of yours. Great examples, engaging and effective.
Summary time! 3 characteristics common to successful entrepreneurs:
1. Cynical. Call it realistic. Real-world. Able to assess problems and opportunities.
2. Focused. Present and paying attention. Staying on the ball and heading off problems early on.
3. Ruthless. Not vicious, but in a tenacious way. Getting it moving and dealing with the mess after, if any.
Super-summary:
1. Have no illusions
2. Stay sharp
3. Eye of the tiger
@ABDULAH JALLOH Made, sir. I was a lazy kid. Spoiled. It was a rapid adjustment to start my own business. Now I am happy to work because I’m not grinding for someone else’s machine.
My mistakes are when I get desperate, so I try for diligence instead. With a pen and paper I write “One thing I’m doing for my business today is…”
Very very insightful thank you very much! You helped a young entrepreneur all the way on the other side of the globe! Thanks!
My God. Been listening/reading to those entrepreneurship books/videos, and your videos are definitely one of the top must-watch video, if not, it’s the most powerful video I’ve ever watched/learnt.
