"7 Uncommon Traits of Successful Entrepreneurs"

Posted by: John Jantsch: "I've hung out with thousands of entrepreneurs over the last few years alone and I can tell you, they're not who you think they are.

So much of the popular literature on entrepreneurs portrays them as some sort of gut wrenching risk takers walking out there on the bleeding edge daring to tread where most fear. And a few of those do exist, but more often than not, those are the ones who fail. What I've found is that successful entrepreneurs possess and grow a handful of traits that are rarely mentioned and certainly aren't found in textbooks on the subject. I'm not sure if these traits can be learned to tell you the truth, but I do think it's helpful if they're understood.

In my opinion people who naturally possess the following traits are more likely to succeed as entrepreneurs.

Curiosity..

Risk Averse...

Planners...

Trusting...

Non judgment...

Spatial...

Pragmatic...

So, you an entrepreneur? Where do you stand on these traits?
