Some people may be prone to believing that the trajectories of the most successful entrepreneurs are attributed mostly to luck. As Benedetto describes in this presentation, that is not necessarily the case. Read the full blog on BenedettoCerilli.net

2. ENTREPRENEURIAL TRAITS
Many entrepreneurs have a number of common traits that
allow them to succeed with a surprisingly high degree of
certainty. Their success is not simply attributed to fate but
to their knowledgeability, diligence, and persistence.

3. PROACTIVE
RISK TAKERS
Many people are highly risk-
averse and unable to take even
moderate risks, much less
making big moves like quitting
their jobs for an uncertain
future.
That doesn’t mean that the
best entrepreneurs are
gamblers. The best
entrepreneurs take calculated
risks.

4. KNOW THE MARKET
The best idea in the world isn’t going to make someone a successful
entrepreneur if the total available market turns out to be just $1 million.
On the other hand, a market in the billions of dollars for an all-new
product is a great opportunity.
The best entrepreneurs are able to spot those great opportunities and
tailor products or services that serve them.

5. CREATE REAL VALUE
The best entrepreneurs are able to spot niches
that have gone largely unserved. They are able
to see real market needs and then step in to
fill those needs with products that create high
levels of value for their customers.

6. HAVE A STRONG
PERSONALITY
Most entrepreneurs have
experienced failure in some
way, but the successful ones
are able to recover, learn from
their mistakes, and continue
moving forward.
Confidence in their abilities,
passion for their work, and the
motivation to proceed under
any circumstances are just a
few of the traits that drive an
entrepreneur forward.

7. WHAT MAKES AN
ENTREPRENEUR?
Not every entrepreneur is the same. There may be some
entrepreneurs who are more cautious or who create
products for a market that doesn't yet exist.
Regardless of these details, successful entrepreneurs
tend to share some of these qualities, and they cultivate
them over time - learning, growing, and improving to
become success stories.
