Personal Toolbox

Motivating yourself and others is something that takes no small amount of effort and can sometimes seem like a fruitless endeavor, as motivation initiatives do not always take hold immediately.
To figure out what motivates you when starting a business, you need to find clarity in why you’re doing what you’re doing, what you hope to accomplish, what the risks are, and what you expect the payoffs to be. This is what will keep you centered and focused when you face challenges during the process.
Individuals need several attributes, characteristics and skill sets to become successful entrepreneurs. They include the ability to take calculated risks, self-confidence, desire for independence, desire for achievement, ability to innovate, and knowledge on market trends.
