what it takes to be a good entrepreneur
- There are various ways, but, in my opinion, one has to sacrifice, and live, practically, by risk and faith.

Practicing entrepreneurship
- Practicing entrepreneurship in real life takes lots of discipline and dedication. Being a technologist, I would say it requires keeping up with the current technology, building and promoting products and services and above all sustaining the practice. The key to successful entrepreneurship is to keep it alive when the chips are down.

Two reasons I want to be an Entrepreneur

What it takes is
- In my opinion, a good entrepreneur is one who sees what others can't see. I have a habit of clarifying things with examples. Want to give some examples to support my idea. These days everybody goes to Mc'Donalds or KFC, browse Twitter or Facebook, have an Android phone or an Apple Gadget. I can list a lot of things. Now the point here is, when Steve Jobs was in 1986 no-one cares what he was doing, when Colonel Sanders knocks doors, no one knew him , but people come to know about them when Apple or KFC come into picture. Building a good thing matters, but how is it gonna impact the society matters more. Always think who will gonna use your product, how it makes a difference and how will it earn money for you because in the end it' all about money. If it's not about money, you would have never read about them. Also, Steve Jobs hadn't made each and every product Apple made or is making, neither does Henry Ford or anyone else but they know how to sell it.

What it takes
- I think an entrepreneur is an original thinker that is highly motivated. They think outside the box. They don't accept the way things are and they think of ways to make things better.

What it takes
- I think that an entrepreneur is made and not born. They are highly motivated people in the sense of accomplishing things. They arent necessarily motivated by just the money motive. They may take their family and their needs into consideration. They also have a strong sense of initiative and would rather do things on their own then involve a whole corporation of people. They are dedicated to their businesses and put as much time into them as they can. They are working for themselves rather than for anyone else. They also know what is going on in the market around them at all times. They react to change and know how to handle situations on their own.

What it Takes to be an Entrepreneur
- There are many characteristics that an entrepreneur must possess in order to be successful. It takes determination, hard work, passion and drive. I think the characteristic that is most important, however, is confidence. You have to believe in your idea, have passion for it and think that your idea is the best idea out there. You have to back your idea 100% and never show that you have any doubt.

Entrepreneur
- I believe there are several factors that go into making a person a good entrepreneur. This person has to be a highly motivated person. They have to able and willing to keep their own schedules. These schedules will almost always carry long hours with them. An entrepreneur has to be very detail orienented and goal driven. This person is responsibile for everything that happens with and in the company, so he or she should be very organized. Another very important characteristic of a good entrepreneur is the ability to accept failure and to learn from them. No one that opens a business is going to get everything right. That person has to work hard to correct mistakes and learn not to do it again.

Ethics=Strong Entrepreneurs
- In my opinion the characteristics that make a successful entrepreneur start with the individual being ethical in today's business world. Over the last decade people running small to large firms have at some point practiced unethical standards to gain success or momentum in today's business world. These unethical practices may include lying to employees, lying to customers about a product or service, or some sort of scheme to make millions. However, we as business managers working in today's market must be ethical in the way we conduct our business practices. When we are ethical it allows us to gain the trust and respect from customers and gives us a competitive edge over the competition. When people believe we are trustworthy they will continue doing business with us. Also, I feel we have to have the "Competitive Fever" to be a successful entrepreneur. What I mean by this is we have to set "realistic" goals that can be achieved in short term, but these goals must also be factors in our
