Were you born to be an entrepreneur? Being successful requires a mix of characteristics that are both innate and learned. However, there are a few characteristics many phenomenal entrepreneurs have in common—and it's not always dropping out of college to pursue their dreams. It's often much subtler, and you can probably trace it back to your childhood.
你生來就是企業(yè)家嗎？如果你要成為一名成功的企業(yè)家，你得擁有先天和后天的資歷。不過，成功的企業(yè)家似乎都有某些相同的特質(zhì)，并且不是總是退學追尋夢想就能達到的。不過這些特質(zhì)通常更微妙，你還可以追溯到自己的童年。

1. They're early risers
1. 成功的企業(yè)家都是早起的鳥兒。

Multiple studies have shown that "morning people" are more successful. However, there are plenty of successful night owls, too. It really doesn't matter when you start punching the clock. What matters is your drive, ambition and commitment to tackling issues in a triage format. Many morning people simply find it easier to get started—procrastination is the real problem here, not whether you're an early bird or not.
許多研究表明，早起的人們通常更容易成功。不過也有研究表明夜貓子也有成功的例子。所以你何時起床并不重要，重要的是你有動力，決心和意愿使用分流的方式去解決問題。許多早起的人們很快就能找到解決的方法——要知道，拖延癥才是問題的來由，而不是你起床的時間。

2. They see disparities
2. 能發(fā)現(xiàn)不同之處。

A million-dollar idea is one that fills a need in the market. However, it takes an entrepreneur to spot disparities and gaps, then come up with ideas to fill them. Of course, any "new" idea that's good will get its fair share of copy cats. There are some people who get rich simply by riding the coattails of others. That's perfectly fine if that's your niche, but natural entrepreneurs are the original creators.
價值百萬的想法也只是一個滿足市場需求的想法而已。然而，這需要企業(yè)家定位差別，再想辦法解決。當然，每一個"新的"想法都會或多或少遭到別人的抄襲。很多人致富的原因就是依仗別人的提攜。不過如果那是你的本職也沒有關(guān)系，一般成功的企業(yè)者都有創(chuàng)新精神。

3. They have follow through.
3. 堅持到底。

Every team needs dreamers because they help shake the death grip of realists. However, very few entrepreneurs are 100 percent dreamers. You need follow through or nothing is going to happen. Entrepreneurs take things full circle. It's why many of them were successful in sales—that "always be closing" mantra served them well and they won't settle for loose ends.
每一個團隊都需要充滿想象力的人，因為他們能夠撼動現(xiàn)實主義者的主線。不過極少企業(yè)家是百分之百的想象者。你得堅持到底，不然你什么事情都做不了。企業(yè)家們都把事情做得徹底。也就是為什么這么多人能夠成為成功的銷售人員，就是因為"永遠緊守崗位"讓他們?yōu)榭蛻籼峁┝己玫姆詹⑶也粫p易滿足。

4. They challenged the status quo
4. 不安于現(xiàn)狀。

This is where the stories of Steve Jobs and others dropping out of school to pursue flights of fancy is really rooted. It's not just about taking the path of least resistance. Entrepreneurs don't accept things as is. They challenge "the way it's always been done". They want better, faster, and more, and they aren't afraid to be the ones to do it. There's no such thing as "good enough" for an entrepreneur.
喬布斯就是這么一個例子。他敢于輟學追求自己的理想的想法是非常果斷的。但這并不是苦苦糾纏的意思。企業(yè)家對這一套不買賬。他們挑戰(zhàn)的是"既有的東西"。他們追求更好，更快和更多。并且他們并不擔心自己成為開創(chuàng)者。并且對于企業(yè)者來說，"剛剛好"是不符合他們的標準的。

5. They're money minded
5. 要有金錢意識。

There's a big difference between an inventor and an entrepreneur. You need to be money savvy if you want your business or idea to really take off. This isn't something that comes naturally to everyone, so you'll either need to brush up on your personal finance and investing skills, get a reputable investor and CPA in your corner—or both. Otherwise, you won't optimize your ideas and hard work into a lucrative business.
發(fā)明者和企業(yè)家的區(qū)別非常大。如果你想要自己的事業(yè)或想法得到實際的發(fā)展，就要有金錢的悟性。這并不是每個人都能自然擁有的事情，所以你就要提高自己的個人理財和投資技能，雇用聲譽好的投資者和會計師，不然，你就無法改善自己的想法和工作，也無法獲得利潤高的商業(yè)機會。
