“How do I become an entrepreneur?, Do I have what it takes?”, you may find yourself asking yourself these questions at some point in your career. 

The answer to these questions may be answered whether you do or don’t have specific key motivators or key aptitudes. 

Key Motivators 

1.Need to set objectives and goals

The need for a challenge is important for entrepreneurs. They often have a need for achievement and want feedback on their achievements. 

2. Need to make an impact 

Entrepreneurs want to influence people, making money is a motivator but ultimately they want to make an impact through their business.

3. Independence 

The last motivator is autonomy. Entrepreneurs want to be their own boss and be in control. Independence is a strong motivator for those who want to pursue their dreams and have their own business. 

Key Aptitudes 

1.Determination

Entrepreneurs have the perseverance to get through obstacles and reach their goals despite setbacks. Perseverance is the top aptitude with today’s business environment, overcoming problems and frustrations to persevere. 

2. Self-Confidence

Business owners trust their instincts and show their self-assurance. This helps them push to achieve their goals and get them through hard times. 

3. Creativity 

Entrepreneurs that can creatively see business opportunities and identify gaps in the market can find one of a kind services and products that meet a demand. 

4. Ambiguity 

Entrepreneurs have a tolerance for ambiguity and are able to make decisions even when all the information isn’t provided. This uncertainty may be stressful for most people but entrepreneurs learn to work around it. 

5. Accept Failure 

Many people have a history of failures but entrepreneurs accept them as a learning experience and learn from their mistakes. 

6. Action Driven 

Entrepreneurs are action-oriented, they won’t put tasks off for later, they want to get to work and tackle their tasks.
