“I’m sure everybody has their own definition of the attributes of an entrepreneur. Some of the ones I would identify are:
* Not very status-oriented
* Doesn’t follow rules very well and questions authority
* Can handle high degrees of ambiguity or uncertainty
* Can handle rejection, being told “no” often and yet still have the confidence in your idea
* Very decisive. A bias toward making decisions – even when only right 70% of the time – moving forward & correcting what doesn’t work* A high level of confidence in your own ideas and ability to execute
* Not highly susceptible to stress
* Have a high risk tolerance
* Not scared or ashamed of failure
* Can handle long hours, travel, lack of sleep and the trade-offs of having less time for hobbies & other stuff”From Tech Crunch: Should you really be a startup entrepreneur?
