 Qualities Of An Entrepreneur – Initiative

The Young Entrepreneurs Study, funded by the John Templeton Foundation, studied 5,000 young people in an effort to determine what qualities were typically present in budding entrepreneurs. They discovered four key traits. So far, we've looked at Innovative Thinking and Self-Control.  Today we'll look at Initiative.

The study reported that budding entrepreneurs typically engaged in what they called proto-entrepreneurial tasks as children. For example, they would mow yards or set up a lemonade stand to earn money at an early age. At the college-level, these people often took business courses, even if they weren’t business majors.

Proverbs 16:26 teaches, “The appetite of laborers works for them; their hunger drives them on.”

If you’re considering the entrepreneurial world, examine how much drive and initiative you have before pursuing an entrepreneurial path that could lead to disappointment and financial devastation.
