PASSION
If you dont have a passion and a burning desire,
count yourself out right now. Entrepreneurship is
not a path for the lukewarm. Its too full of ups
and downs, and setbacks and challenges. Its a
labor of love. If you dont have a passion and
desire to success, you wont go very far. Better
you try something else.
You must have a passion for whatever it is youre
thinking of doing

DRIVE
Dont mix drive with passion. Both are different
from each other. Lets say, if you love baking
but do it when you feel like it, its Passion
but if you are determined to open a bakery in
your town and want to have your name listed on
Yelp, and you wont rest till you get there, its
Drive. Drive helps you conquer obstacles, get
through long hours and setbacks, and keep you
moving and improving all the time.
You must have a drive to attain your goals

DISCIPLINED
You must be self-disciplined and have a
disciplined attitude towards your life and your
business. When youre the only one peering over
your shoulder, you need to be able to keep
yourself on every task in the face of
distractions, challenges, and the tempting
knowledge that you can technically do in any
situation.
You must be self-disciplined

something with traction.

LEARNING
You need to be willing to learn on the go as you
will never fully be ready to run a business, and
there always be new developments and challenges
to assimilate and overcome. Finding a suitable
mentor is a great way to learn more about the
various facets of running your own business.
You must always be in a learning mode

EVOLVE
Never stand still always try to evolve with the
times. You must learn and adapt to new methods,
processes or technology that can make your
business stronger and more efficient. Remember!
successful entrepreneurs are never too proud to
accept when there are new opportunities to
enhance their offering and better satisfy the
needs of their customers and the market as a
whole. You must design your products in a way to
satisfy evolving market needs.
You must always evolve with the times
