I woke
up this morning with a very high spirit and in anticipation of calls from
prospects from within and outside the country. I have been lucky these days to
receive service request from people outside the country, at least I receive
more than ten calls on daily basis for one service or the other, a client came
in from India on Monday and he was impressed meeting me after long chats and
conversation online. Some other clients from abroad have paid me for business
plan on Nylon/Polythene set-up in Nigeria even though they have not met me in
person. Likewise, my lawyer partner called from Abuja that some of our client’s
names we put in for search at Corporate Affairs Commission had been approved for registration, all these

entrepreneur and these traits are:
1. CONFIDENCE IN SELF
This
is that supernatural control of having confidence in oneself and in one's

2. SUCCESS ORIENTED
Achievements
are gained by focused and sustained effort. They concentrate on achieving a
specific goal, not just accomplishing a string of unrelated tasks.
3. RISK TAKING
Successful

achieving their goals; nonetheless they have the confidence necessary to take
calculated risks to achieve their goals.

entrepreneurs are individuals who will make decisions, take action, and think
that they can control their own destinies. They are often inspired by a spirit
of self-determination which leads them to believe that their success depends on
rare effort and uphill struggle, not luck.
Hence,
which of these three traits is the most significant? Trust me, it has to be
self-confidence. With no self-confidence, nothing else is possible. If you
don't believe in your capability, then the first hurdle that arises may knock
you off the passageway to achieving your goals.
You
can maintain a higher level of self-confidence if you keep these two things in
mind:
POSITIVE THINKING
Well,
it all starts with a optimistic attitude, doesn't it? Believing that something
good will surely happens is the first step. Pessimistic thinking simply is not
allowed. You must truly believe that there are no conditions strong enough to
deter you from
