Discovering Your Personal Entrepreneurial Characteristics

Researchers have conducted studies on successful individuals within the business world, discovering a consistent set of personal characteristics that are linked to a higher level of success.

Data shows that these characteristics are present, to a greater or lesser degree of development, in all people, regardless of their background or level of education. Identifying, recognizing and eventually developing these characteristics is an important factor for better entrepreneurial performance and even more so for all those who wish to become entrepreneurs.

Each person has as part of their personality structure strengths and weaknesses, which together make up what the authors have called: Personal Entrepreneurial Characteristics that are linked to success not only in business but also in everyday life. That is why we must be aware that the first and most important asset in entrepreneurship is you!

In this session, Entrepreneurs-In-The-Making will dive into  the main characteristics necessary to become an entrepreneur.

Have You Ever Heard the Phrase, "A Knack For Business?"

Someone is said to have a knack for something when that person has the ability to find or recognize something. In business, this ability can be innate or it can be learned.

The analysis of the environment prior to any activity that means the construction of a business is key, since it allows to analyze the different aspects that the initiative will face, it also helps to validate if there is a market, competition and the viability of a business idea.

The business idea must face different circumstances for its development, among which are the market, similar economic activities, social and demographic behavior, policies towards the sector, infrastructure and others that define whether or not the venture can be developed.

In this session, Entrepreneurs-In-The-Making will learn to distinguish between the general environment that they have no ability to influence, at least directly and immediately, and the more specific environment that we will call the market environment where we will analyze competitors.
