Traits of an Entrepreneur

What makes someone an entrepreneur?

Here are some of the words and phrases (in no particular order) that I’ve heard entrepreneurs use to describe themselves or that those who are studying them (and there is a lot of that at Stanford) use to capture the complex entity that is a entrepreneur.

Restless
Curious
Mind on speed
Team builder
Cheap
Focused
Visionary
Resourceful
Resilient
Tenacious (see this blog for a quick item on that)
Flexible

This last one is particularly important. I was told several times that “Final businesses are rarely like the first business plan.”
