What are the skills I need to be a successful entrepreneur?
With small business and entrepreneurial basics, the more skills you have the better you have at becoming a successful entrepreneur. I mean that’s why I say when you’re talking about a particular business, it helps if you like it and know something about it. That’s good, that’s a skill, but everything that you can bring to the table is an advantage. Persistence is very important and you have to be a self starter. The alarm goes off in the morning, you know you have to get up and go. People say well I’m not a good sales person, you can learn to be a good sales person. With all these things, I don’t think there is anything that you cannot learn. There’s very little that you can’t do which you can’t at least improve on, so even though you enter things and may say “I don’t know how to do this” or know how to, you can learn. You can do it and you can develop.
