How to Start a Successful Business成功创业者的八个素质What does it take to start a successful business? While there's no such thing as the perfect entrepreneur-even Bill Gates has made mistakes-----a number of personal qualities can help you to build a successful business. If you pass muster 1 on most of these traits, you're off and running如何成功地创业？不存在十全十美的企业家一一即便是比尔·盖茨也会犯错，不过具备一些素质能帮助你成功。如果你在以下的大部分事项中做得足够好，那么你就拥有了一个好的开头。

You can delegate. No matter how smart and energetic you are, it's a mistake to try to attend to every detail yourself. Unless you're a solo act, you're going to have to trust employees to do their jobs so that you can run the business.
第一，会委派工作。不论你多聪明，精力有多旺盛，事必躬亲绝对是错误的做法。除非你唱独角戏，不然你就得信任员工，派他们去完成工作，这样你才有空来经营企业。
股票价值该用多长远的目光去看待.jpgYou are a teacher. In order to delegate successfully, you will need people with appropriate skills——and they may have to learn some of those skills from you.
第二，老师型。要成功委派工作，你需要有具有合适技能的人，而他们也许要从你那里学一些技能。
You are self-motivated. As a small business owner, you won't have a boss to tell you when to get to work. If that's a problem, keep your day job.
第三，自我激励型。身为小企业家，没有老板会告诉你什么时候来上班。如果你的工作动力是个问题的话，那还是继续打工吧。
You can work with numbers. You will spend a fair amount of time keeping track of money-expenses, revenues, taxes and the like. A math phobia won't help.
第四，能和数字打交道。相当一部分的时间需要跟踪资金-一开销、收入、税款等等。惧怕数学可不行。
You don't mind making mistakes. You will make them; the trick is to learn from them and move on. Not everyone finds that easy to do.
第五，不怕犯错。你一定会犯错误，关键在于能够汲取教训然后继续努力。这不是人人都能轻易做到的。
You like to work. Contrary to myth, you don't need to be a workaholic to start a successful business. Many entrepreneurs find that it makes more sense to establish a reasonable working pace-one that lets them strike a balance between work and their personal lives. That said, don't start a business unless you enjoy work. There's going to be plenty of it.
第六，喜欢工作。和那些创业神话相反，并非一定要是工作狂才能成功。许多企业家都认为建立合理的工作节奏更重要，在工作和个人生活之间建立平衡。除非对工作热爱，否则不要创业，因为今后会有很多的工作。
You don't mind selling. You'll have to sell products to customers, of course. You may also need to sell lenders or other financial backers on the prospects 2 of your company. And you'll need to convince potential employees to accept jobs with your firm rather than going to work for the competition.
第七，不介意从事销售工作。你肯定得将产品卖给客户。同样，你也许需要把你公司的前景"推销"给借款者或其他金融资助方。你还需要说服潜在雇员为你工作，而不是给对手打工。
You don't quit easily. You'll encounter obstacles that might stymie 3 some individuals. You'll have more success if you are the type of person who relishes 4 such challenges. A dash of optimism helps; it will help you handle the uncertainty 5 that is part of every venture.
第八，不轻易放弃。你将会遇到可能让人止步不前的障碍。如果你是一个喜欢这种挑战的人，那么你会取得更大的成功。拥有乐观精神会有所禅益，它将帮助你从容应对存在于每个经营项目中的不确定性。
