Most entrepreneurs have a strong inner drive to strike out on their own. They like the idea of being their own boss and not having to report to anyone. I've always had an independent streak even when I was working in a large federal agency. I'm sure it was that independence that helped me decide to take the plunge and start my own business when I was let go. After three years, I still like the feeling of being in control.
Successful entrepreneurs believe in themselves.
They are optimistic about projects they undertake, and are good at motivating others and sharing their enthusiasm when pursuing goals. I expect to succeed. I won't let a setback stop me. Going into business involves taking a chance. You may have to push yourself beyond what is comfortable for you and try new things.
