The 5 traits of successful entrepreneurs

I was at dinner with a friend not long ago, and she mentioned an invite she’d received to spend New Year’s Eve “rubbing elbows with entrepreneurs.” I joked that if she came to my house in Chicago on New Year’s Eve, she could rub elbows with entrepreneurs there (I thought myself quite hilarious when I said that).

不久前我和一位朋友吃飯，她提到收到一個 “與企業家共度除夕” 的邀請，以度過除夕。我開玩笑說，如果她來我在芝加哥的地方過除夕，她可以認識那裡所有的企業家（當我這麼說的時候，我認為我自己是相當可笑的）。

It made me stop and think, though. How many entrepreneurs are in Chicago? Are we soon to become a hot bed for start-ups and technology companies?

然而，這讓我停下來思考。在芝加哥有多少企業家呢？我們能很快就成為初創和技術公司的溫床嗎？

Boulder, Colo., reportedly is a hotbed for tech start-ups. And who can blame those entrepreneurs?

I’d want to live there, too.

據報導，科羅拉多州博爾德，是高科技初創企業的溫床。誰能指責那些企業家？
我也願意住在那裡

Austin, Texas, with the annual South by Southwest festival, as well as organizations such as Whole Foods, Dell, Livestrong, and others, is another hotbed.

德克薩斯州奧斯汀的年度南方的西南藝術節，將系列食材，戴爾，堅強存活，和其他部分組織的很好，是另一個溫床。

Is Chicago soon to be added to the list?

芝加哥，能很快就被添加列出這些項目嗎?

An economy like we’ve had in the past few years is a great time to see whether people have what it takes to become entrepreneurs. Not only do people who are laid off find innovation in crisis, but also their skills are quickly tested.

經濟像在過去的幾年我們曾擁有的可看看成為企業家需要甚麼條件。不僅遭資遣的人發現創新的危機，他們的技能也迅速的被檢驗。

Skills such as persuasion, leadership, and personal accountability.

這些技能諸如遊說，領導和 ​​個人責任。

Entrepreneurial skills
創業技能

A recent study from Target Training International shows those three key traits, among others, are what makes an entrepreneur.

國際目標培訓 最近的一項研究顯示了這三個關鍵特徵，是超越其他，成為企業家的特質。

In fact, they say if an entrepreneur excels in these areas, there is a 90 percent likelihood they will build not one, but multiple organizations (otherwise known as serial entrepreneurs). The study goes on to say:

事實上，他們說，如果一個企業家在這些領域中有過人之處，有90％的可能性，他們將建立不只一個，而是多個組織（也稱為系列串行企業家）。這研究繼續說：

“In contrast to ephemeral notions that entrepreneurial success comes as a result of perfect timing meeting brilliant ideas in a cosmic moment of alignment, this research indicates entrepreneurially successful people are successful for a reason—that many of them highly display certain personal skills.” 

“相對於短見，創業成功的最佳時機來自在廣大結盟的時刻裡讚嘆的巧思與完美的時機結合的結果，這個研究表明創業成功的人能成功的一個原因-他們多數高度顯示一定的個人能力。

Do you have the skills?
“ 你有沒有技能？

The interesting thing about this study is it highlights skills that are not inherent. They are things that can be learned, developed, and honed throughout your career. If you have the inkling to build companies from scratch, consider these things.

關於這項研究有趣的事情是，突出的技能，並非與生俱來的。這些事物都可以學習，開發，並在整個職業生涯中去磨練。如果你想從擷取經驗開始建立公司的端倪，考慮這些事情。

Persuasion. Can you convince people to join your mission? Do you deliver powerful presentations? Can you get people to say yes to implement, what may seem, crazy ideas?

說服。你能說服別人加入你的任務嗎？你能提供強大的演示文稿？你能讓人們同意看來幾近瘋狂的點子嗎?

Leadership. Do people take risks to support your vision? Are you competitive? Have you been criticized for being too competitive?

領導能力。人們願意承擔風險以支持你的眼光嗎？你具競爭力？你有沒被批評為太具競爭力？

Personal accountability. This is a big one. I hear my peers say quite often, “I can’t grow because no one is there to hold me accountable.” You have to do this one on your own. Are you recognized for achieving results when others could not? Are you criticized for holding people accountable (we have a client who calls me the accountability task master).

個人問責。這個是重大的目標。我聽到我的同齡人經常說，“我無法成長，是因為沒有一個人能幫我負責。”這一部分你必須自己做。當別人無法完成時你能夠辨識達成目標嗎？你會批判應負責的人嗎?（我們有一個客戶稱我為負責任務專家）。

Goal orientation. Do you set smarter goals? Are you known for overcoming obstacles? Are you most productive when working with others to achieve goals?

目標取向 。 你會設定較聰明的目標嗎？你知道如何克服障礙？與他人實現目標時你會最有生產力？

Interpersonal skills. Do you get along well with people? Do you consider other people key to your greatest accomplishments? Can you calm people who are emotionally upset?

人際交往能力。你和人們相處很好嗎？你認為其他人是你偉大成就的關鍵嗎？你能安撫情緒低落的人嗎？

These are the types of questions the study asked to discover the key traits associated with entrepreneurs.
If you didn’t answer yes to each of these questions, don’t fret—these are all learned skills. You now have some goals for 2013.

這些是發現成為企業家的關鍵特徵研究所問的題型。 如果在這些問題你沒有回答“是”，也不必擔心-這些都是可學習到的技能。您現在可在2013年前往這些目標。
