Think Like a Entrepreneur
The most successful agents are not agents, they?re entrepreneurs. The way they create wealth is no different than entrepreneurs in other industries. Creating wealth is a spiritual achievement. Spiritual in the sense that money is generated through the virtue of ? thought. It is action guided by thought that creates wealth. People create many of the conditions of life through thought. This is also true of money and wealth.
Wealth is created by choice, and the actions that create wealth are based on one?s body of knowledge and way of thinking. Year after year studies clearly show us that some people are better at creating wealth than others. Many of these individuals are the mavericks of our society introducing new and innovative ideas into our culture.
Naturally there are degrees of this human ability of thinking in wealthy ways, some are better than others at it. Many of the people I?ve studied, and who are mentioned in this book, have created millions and even billions in wealth. The truth is only a small number of entrepreneurs ever achieve remarkable large scale and long-term growth. So it?s worth noting that the study of the entrepreneur?s mind can help those striving for greater success.
In this section I demonstrate how the spiritual achievement of wealth creation exhibits certain personality traits in those who achieve it. This is not another expose that reprints what a business entrepreneur espouses to be his or her philosophy, no. Instead it is a look at the common traits exhibited by those who achieve great business success and what made those achievements possible.
The 7 Traits of an Entrepreneur
The following list has been derived from my own study of biographies and business history. The list of traits and qualities can be long and exhaustive, so I highlight only the most fundamental traits. Entrepreneurs possess the same traits that seem to be the foundational core by which they achieve wealth and greatness.
