More entrepreneurial qualities
I was skimming the bookshelf looking for some different methods to value early-stage companies (if anyone knows of some good online resources, please comment with them), and I came across another list of entrepeneurial qualities.
This list is out of The New Venture Handbook. Published in 1993 it is a little dated, but it’s not a bad little book. Targeted at aspiring entrepreneurs new to starting up their own business, it does a good job of walking them through the basics and telling them what to expect in their journey.
Here is the author’s list of entrepreneurial qualities:
- Industrious
- Rugged
- Stubborn
- Objective
- Independent
- Resilient
- Creative
- Responsible
We should recognize some old standbys from that list, but there are also some new takes. I especially like “objective” as it speaks to the ability to see things without emotion, from a business sense, enabling you to take hard stock of the situation without bringing personal biases into the equation. “Industrious” and “rugged” are good ones also to be considered.
