  1. I exactly know these kinds of things, I have worked for a Venture Capital and listened hundreds of presentations from those entrepreneurs who wanted our money. So I don't think I can be a good entrepreneur, but I would have some opportunities if woking in a distinguished team.

  2. This article said that importance of investors in your business. They are very key people in the entrepreneur, and all CEO has to be respect them. That’s right! They are really important people who fund their money to company, and will be future customers, as well. Sometimes they can make decision in the business. Many owner thought investors is helper about financial problem, but now is not. They have to change their attitude.

  3. Yes, I do. I believe I have the right personality to be an entrepreneur. My dream is to own a steady and successful cram school. I need to be patient, diligent, easy to communicate and always willing to learn more about teaching and management, and I think I have and will have those personalities.

  4. I thing I have to work in my personality if I want to be an entrepreneur because sometimes my personality is not to strong, and sometimes I made a lot of mistakes trying to do something and I stay there, and never look forward, for that reason I think that sometimes my personality is weak because if I have a problem, I would think that it is the bigger problem ever, when the truth is that it is not. Sometime I'm so immature to make important decisions and I think I need to improve, because if I want to work in group like the first thing that investors look. I think if I work really hard one day I could be a entrepreneur.

  5. I completely think I'm not a business man because I hate numbers, that's why I will be a psychologist or a lawyer. Furthermore, sometimes I splurge the money I have saved for emergencies. Although, like a peruvian said:"The smart Peruvian can sells you stones for too much money". I'm not as smart as the classic peruvian-market clerks, but I know how to sell, reduce the price of the products. I' proud to be a clever peruvian.

People who have a dream and work for that, they have possibilities to make their dreams reality. It's important to develop different kinds of skills and overcome our challenges to develop a adequate personality to be a recognized business men or women.

  8. I think I have some personalities that an entrepreneur has. An entrepreneur is ready to take a risk. Also, he or she has a vision. One of my dreams is to have a private clinic that never has been in Mongolia until now. I have a huge vision about my dream clinic. Further, I think step out in foreign country first time and travel alone with a packbag is kind of risky action. So I did two years ago. If I set a goal, nobody and nothing can stop me. I won't afraid of anything to complete it. That's why I believe I have some personalities to be an entrepreneur.

  9. I don't think that I have the right personality to be an entrepreneur. Being an entrepreneur and making profit that sounds a little bit hard for me, but I welling to learn more about how to be an entrepreneur. The reason I want to be an entrepreneur because I want to create more job opportunities for people who need. That sounds silly because I need to make sure I can support my family and I first.

  10. I would like to be an entrepreneur, but perhaps I don’t have qualities for it. To be an entrepreneur in very important to take many risks and I don’t feel prepared to assume these risks. However, I would prefer to support someone with my knowledge and skills.
    In spite of it, I have some great ideas to share with others. Sometimes our ideas can motivate others.

  11. I don't think that I have the right personality to be an entrepreneur. To be an entrepreneur, some personality traits are needed. I have some of them. For example I am a creative,adventurous and flexible person, but I need much more to be a successful entrepreneur. Maybe I can work with someone else who can share important skills with me so that we can have an enterprise together.

  12. This article discussed the opinion about to be a investor or entrepreneur.F or sure I have the right to be a invest or or entrepreneur.It is easy if you do not care about the huge return.But I know that if you want to be a successful entrepreneur, you have to get a lot of education or experience.Sometimes if you do not have much prepare for your business,investment is a gamble.So you should be careful about your decision.

  13. Well ... I don't have the personality to be an entrepreneur! Am one of those person who needs everything right away. If I want something I need to have it my hands, I can't wait for things. If I don't have the result of what I'm doing quickly i begging to despair. I want the result immediately, I don't have patience at all. I won't be a good entrepreneur.

  17. I believe that I have the right personality to be an entrepreneur becuase I can understand what investors look for based on. I believe that I can understand and identify my market. Present a clear, organized strategy on how to reach it. Also I am pretty honest so I can be honest with investors.
