12 Traits of an Entrepreneur.

I'm often asked what is required to run your own business or to take an idea and turn it into a reality. Here are what I believe are 12 traits of an entrepreneur (in no particular order):

1. Passionate
2. Motivated
3. Confident
4. Driven to succeed
5. Ambitious
6. Dedicated
7. Don't procrastinate
8. Risk-taking
9. Intuitive
10. Hard working
11. Determined
12. Positive thinking

Some people might have a few of these traits, others may have them all. I believe an entrepreneur has the majority of these traits.

The question is, are people born with these traits or are they learned?

Let me know your thoughts or if you have any other entrepreneurial traits to add to my list.
