Starting a new business takes a lot of work. Despite the intense effort required to launch a new venture, successful entrepreneurs have many diverse characteristics that provide the stamina to support their achievements and enhance their ability to create a successful business. By cultivating these characteristics, continually learning, being open to new and creative ideas and possibilities, and committing to their vision, entrepreneurs can help ensure the success of their business.

Upon completion of the course, you will be able to do the following:

  • Describe the stages of entrepreneurship.
  • Identify types of mentors that may be helpful to entrepreneurs.
  • Explain how entrepreneurs can enhance their creativity.
  • Describe S.M.A.R.T. goals.
  • Discuss the importance of courage, effective time management, and the pursuit of "higher vibrations" to entrepreneurs.
  • Explain characteristics of successful leaders.

Choosing to begin a new business venture by becoming a healthcare entrepreneur is not a decision that most people make lightly. At times, the economy in the United States and globally has made it difficult for most families to depend on a two-income household, let alone a single income, or an income that is based on a new business. However, many people choose to become entrepreneurs because long-term reliance on a single employer often leaves them struggling, underemployed, unemployed, or denied the creativity and “voice” that “feeds their soul.” Those who have been lucky enough to remain employed may face pay cuts, reductions in benefits, toxic work environments, and longer hours in addition to the unsettling feeling that they may lose their jobs at any moment (Palmer, 2014a).

As a result of the conditions in the national and global economy, and the instability it may bring, many people choose to become healthcare entrepreneurs because they want to:

  • Live and work “from the heart”
  • Find a way to work with their gifts of caring and compassion
  • Find a way to express their passion and “live on purpose”
  • Create a successful business that provides the potential for greater financial rewards than those provided by a traditional job
  • Create a way to live and work that allows them to express their most important core values
  • Explore their own health and well-being more fully

Becoming a successful business owner requires commitment to your goals and vision of your endeavor. No matter what business you decide to launch, from a small coaching business to a multi-million dollar healthcare organization, there are several traits shared by those who are successful as entrepreneurs. The following are some of the most common traits.
