Introduction
This paper is going to outline the details about entrepreneur and entrepreneurship skills in
coming up with a new idea. An entrepreneur is defined as a person who sets up a venture aiming
to earn a profit at the end of the period. Entrepreneurship is the act of coming up with a business
idea and implement it in the market (Bernal and Liñán, 2018). This process helps in utilizing the
limited resources in the community by coming up with unique and special products and services
in the community. For example, an individual may start an online business in the market where
does not exists. For an individual who is an entrepreneur is supposed to express some culture in
this process for it to be successful. An entrepreneur must be responsible for any success or
failure in the business operation is he/she must achieve the goals and objective of the new
business. Some characteristics are required for the business to be successful. These
characteristics may be acquired through education, training or are inborn meaning are personal
traits (Sabitha, Krishnan and Gloria, 2018). Some of the personal characters are important for the
success of the business and others always hinder the progress of the entrepreneurial projects. In
this paper, I will express my personal characteristics which are strong enough to make successes
in business and other which may hinder me from developing and running a successful project. I
will start with strong traits in my life.
