Reading from an academic abstract, titled 'Entrepreneurship: owing your future ', dialogues about the tools and implements needed to become a successful entrepreneur. The book gives an introduction of entrepreneurship and defines it as: "Someone who creates and runs a business", (Mariotti, 2016, p5).
A first principal characteristic of a successful entrepreneur begins with a self-assessment, which comprise of evaluating your strengths and weaknesses. Associating to my individual characteristic, I lean towards the habit of always evaluating myself, this include an evaluation of my attitude, action and performance.

According to my view, entrepreneurship has got more to do with a person 's personalities and qualities, than what you learn throughout your educational time. For example, looking at society 's history there has been few successful entrepreneurs, such as Steve Jobs, Alan Sugar and Bill Gates, who left school at very early age, but yet managed and worked hard on their own to become the great leaders and successful entrepreneurs that they have been. However, I believe that nobody is born entrepreneur, but rather, I have a belief that everybody is born with talents and capabilities to do great things or become someone great in the future. Steve Jobs was the co-founder of Apple Computer Inc., he left school at aged 16 because it was too expensive, but with his strong vision, creativity and his ingenuity ideas he became one of the most successful entrepreneurs in the technology history. Alan Sugar, on the other hand, was a business magnate and entrepreneur of great influence to the world. Alan Sugar also dropped out from school at 16 years and worked his way up in life. By spotting opportunities that came on his way, he was able to succeed in life by becoming founder of British electronics Amstrad, later became the chairman of Tottenham Hotspur and was also known as to be a media personality on the BBC reality show, known as ‘The Apprentice’. Bill Gate was
Therefore, to reflect all that I was able to learn, this paper will discuss what the key takeaways were for me, why I believe entrepreneurs are made, how the learnings influenced my plan of running a business in the future, and what I disagree

Studies had been conducted to look at the different traits of an entrepreneur. Visionaries and risk taking are two characteristics identified by authors (Fisherman, 2000; Covey, 2006; et al) as traits of a successful entrepreneur although there are some (Schultz, 1980 and Brockhaus, 1980) who argued otherwise.
There has been a large amount of attention paid to the subject of entrepreneurship in the last few years; mainly because most people have chosen to go from working for somebody else, to be their own bosses and work for their dreams. Nevertheless, many still wonder what is entrepreneurship and what is that sets entrepreneurs apart from other regular business owners. At first, it seems both concepts do not differ much from each other since they both start up and run businesses and assume risks to pursue opportunities; however, there are certain traits that difference them.
An entrepreneur is an individual who is willing to develop, manage and organize an enterprise with the aim of profit making along with the risks involved. The word entrepreneur has its origin from the French word ‘entrepreneurs’ which means ‘to undertake’. In the business context entrepreneurship is the act of starting a business with the aim of making profits. According to Baumol et al.,. 2008, there are different types of entrepreneurs. Innovative entrepreneurs bring new products and services in the market and use new marketing techniques. On the other hand, replicative entrepreneurs bring new selling propositions to an existing market. Many capitalist societies encourage their citizens to start their own businesses to boost individual, as
Entrepreneurship is the process of starting a business, a startup company or other organization. The entrepreneur develops a business plan, acquires the human and other required resources, and is fully responsible for its success or failure.Entrepreneurship , to us is coming up with an idea of your own or inspired by some other ideas or problems and turning it into a profitable business.

I am gratified to reflect on my Entrepreneurial Potential Self-Assessment. I have always enjoyed learning the concepts of running and managing a business. Personally, what I enjoy generally is implying these concepts in real life situations. Seeing the ‘real life’ effects are stimulating to me. I always saw myself running a stable/well- establish business; however, I never saw myself running my own business. For my part, I find that I do not have all the characteristics an entrepreneur should have. Therefore, the results are not surprising, but assuring of what my strengths and weaknesses are.
We learned a lot of things in this course, but I think the most important lesson I learned is that it’s not easy to be an entrepreneur. I was surprised to hear in the first class that 80% of startups fail, but after reading The Art of Start and E-myth Revisited I understood why this happens more often than one might expects. Some people start their own businesses for the wrong reason and some start with wrong mindset. I’ve always thought that if someone has a brilliant business idea and hardworking they will succeed and grow their business. However, now I know that there are many things to consider before starting any business. In fact, there are many strategies that an entrepreneur could follow to achieve success, such as know your customers, work “on” the business, and how
Successful entrepreneurs have a clear image of what they want their future to be like. They hold a clear picture of the direction the company should take and have a clear plan of how they will make their vision a reality (9 essential traits of successful entrepreneurs, 2013)

Studies have found that there is a deep link between Entrepreneurship and Need of Achievement. According to Begley and Boyd (1987), those who have founded their own companies had a higher need for achievement than non-founders or owner managers. Also, (Stewart et al., 1998) responded that need for achievement is higher in entrepreneurs than the corporate manager and owner managers. Need for Achievement is usually high in entrepreneurs than the general population. It provides them with motivation to go ahead and achieve their next target easily. Entrepreneurs showing this tendency usually are good planners, sets their goals, always look for information and learning (Miner, 2000). They accept success and failure of their work and this need of achievement help them to overcome failure, obstacles and setbacks.
