There exist two thorough studies on the personal qualities of an entrepreneur. Few people may tell you that it certainly takes a type A personality to be a successful entrepreneur. While others may not agree and say that it just takes few specific traits and not just one particular type of personality.

Going through my own case, I am not so certain that it surely would take a type A personality to be a successful business owner, as I will never consider myself to be a type A personality, but still, I have been quite efficiently running my business and am self employed for last 8 years. What so ever the case may be, I do agree that it does take certain personality traits to establish and then successfully run your own business.

In my opinion, two most essential personality traits you may require are being self started and sufficiently self motivated.

One of the most essential traits which you may need when you decide to be self employed is being a self started. When you are self employed, you may not have to report to anybody but to yourself as you become your own boss. In such a situation, you must be capable of getting things done and must possess an "I can do" attitude. You must possess an ability to think and work independently.

When you decide to be self employed, you may not be any different than a company employee. You may have to get up early in the morning and plan your day, even though you may have no body to answer to. The way you manage your business is all up to your own efficiency. If you are not efficient at something, you won't call any service providing company or something like that, it may be all up to you to figure out.

As with any business, if you desire to grow and be successful, you may need clients and you will have to venture out and get them. If you want to add some employees, then you are the person who will have to search and find the most suitable person for the job.

There are still many activities in business, which are solely dependent on you. It is for this reason that being a self starter and being able to work for yourself is a must when it comes to being a self employed person.

There are thousand and thousands of people who as a routine, get out of bed in morning day after day, then get ready and go to work, not because they just want to go, but because the job they are doing requires that. This then becomes their sole motivation.

On the other hand a self employed person never faces such a situation, nor is he answerable to anyone. You may do whatever you want to and there will be no boss or anybody to ask you as to where you are.

It is for this reason, that remaining self motivated is very necessary. You may need to create such an environment for yourself that you feel motivated to get out of your bed and reach for your business on each and every working day. At the same time it is entirely unto you to create and nurture a business in such a way that it grows and also at the same time you become capable to provide highest level of service and satisfaction to you clients.
