Want to Succeed in Building a Home Base Business? Learn the 8 Traits of Successful Entrepreneurs

With over 87 million people falling into jobless, hopeless or underpaid, it's no wonder why so many people are leaving the work force to become self employed.  One of the smartest steps in being financially free is to invest time into building a home base business.  There are millions to choose from so make sure you pick the right plan.  The highest payout I've seen is from market america shop.com - feel free to do your own research here.  Once you identify your system, you now need to get educated - mainly, Get Your Head Straight - because now it's up to you.  You need to become an entrepreneur:
def:  noun.  A person who organizes, manages, and assumes the risk of a business or enterprise.  Or my favorite:  Living a few years of your life like most people won't, so that you can spend the rest of your life like most people can't!

Here are 8 Traits shared by some of the world most successful entrepreneurs

1.  Assume Complete Control of your life
 Ever here people say:  I was late because...., I'm broke because...., I'm tired because..., I can't because.....  people love to offload responsibility and play the victim role rather than take full responsibility.  If you are going to be successful as an entrepreneur you need to take 100% responsibility for everything that happens, not just for good, but also for bad.  The second you blame someone or something else, you become a victim and no victim ever became successful.  Taking 100% responsibility will inherently enhance your ability to find solutions and create huge success.

2.  Have a "Can Do" Attitude
Replace negative thoughts with - I can do it, We can do it, Let's make it happen, and know that there's always a solution.  Except nothing short of CAN DO in all you do.

3.  Massive Levels of Action
Unsuccessful people plan plan plan but never take action.  Successful people assume their future achievements rely on investing in actions - massive levels of action.  If there is one thing that levels the playing field - it's how much action you are willing to take and continue to take that will set you apart and lock in your success.

4.  Goal Oriented
We do most people not have goals?  Because average actions doesn't require goals.  For those looking to become extraordinary, setting goals is a must.  You need targets!  Then you need to break you goals down into daily understandable tasks so your brain can accept and believe.  Once you believe, have a plan and a target set that you're excited about - you'll begin to see opportunities in all you do.

5.  Build Strong Networks
I could guess the type of person you are, how much you make and the likely hood of where you will be in the future based simply on your network.  Associate with success and invest time to create a team.  A team wins the championship, not the individual.  It's impossible to go big without the right team.

6.  Persist Until Successful
Expect Setbacks, unexpected events, bad things happening, resistance and more on your path to hit your goals.  I believe this is the natural selection in the business world.  Massive success is not a hand out, it's only rewarded to those who continue to push through till they are successful.  Persist with so much success that all goals will get accomplished and resistance turns into support.

7.  Continuously learn & Adapt
The average CEO makes over 319x the average worker and reads 4-5 books per month compared to the average worker who reads less than 1-2 books each year.  Protect and expand your brain - it's necessary on a daily bases otherwise the only info programming your brain will be conversations you surround yourself with. 

8.  Focus on NOW....RIGHT NOW
Stop Planning and start taking action.  Successful people understand the goal and take action.  All additional planning happens in the process.  You'll always be able to adjust as you grow - but you have to START!  Don't get stuck on details, just take action!
