CHARACTERISTICS OF ENTERPRENEURS 1. Do what you enjoy. -What you get out of your business in the form of personal satisfaction, financial gain, stability and enjoyment will be the sum of what you put into your business. 2. Take what you do seriously. -You cannot expect to be effective and successful in business unless you truly believe in your business and in the goods and services that you sell. 3. Plan everything. -Planning every aspect of your home business is not only a must, but also builds habits that every home business owner should develop, implement, and maintain. 4. Manage money wisely. -The lifeblood of any business enterprise is cash flow. You need it to buy inventory, pay for services, promote and market your business, repair and replace tools and equipment, and pay yourself so that you can continue to work. 5. Ask for the sale. -A home business entrepreneur must always remember that marketing, advertising, or promotional activities are completely worthless, regardless of how clever, expensive, or perfectly targeted they are, unless one simple thing is accomplished--ask for the sale. 6. Remember its all about the customer. -Your home business is not about the products or services that you sell. 7. Become a shameless self-promoter (without becoming obnoxious). -One of the greatest myths about personal or business success is that eventually your business, personal abilities, products or services will get discovered and be embraced by the masses that will beat a path to your door to buy what you are selling. 8. Project a positive business image. -You have but a passing moment to make a positive and memorable impression on people with whom you intend to do business. 9. Get to know your customers. -One of the biggest features and often the most significant competitive edge the home based entrepreneur has over the larger competitors is the he can offer personalized attention. 10. Level the playing field with technology. -You should avoid getting overly caught up in the high-tech world, but you should also know how to take advantage of using it. 11. Build a top-notch business team. -No one person can build a successful business alone.
