Many more people can satisfy the requirements of the entrepreneur than those of the artist. It is easier to be a successful business-person than a successful opera singer. Let us begin by considering some of the characteristics of entrepreneurs. One feature is a high energy level. Entrepreneurs as a whole get up early in the morning.
Entrepreneurs hate to stay in bed.
They tend to be enthusiastic people who realise the only thing more contagious than enthusiasm is the lack of it. The next quality is an interest in money. Typically a natural entrepreneur will have had jobs in childhood and understand naturally the value of money and how to use it as a resource. Bill Gates, for example, started his first business at the age of sixteen and was filling in company tax forms by the age of eighteen. The third characteristic is a creative attitude towards obstacles.
