If India needs to eradicate poverty and be a developed country by 2020, we have to grow fast. We need to create more than 10 million jobs. The million-dollar question is how are these jobs going to be created? The Government cannot create so many jobs. These can be done by the private sector for which entrepreneurship is the only solution. We need more and more entrepreneurs, because they create jobs. Entrepreneurs turn their dreams into reality through self-created wealth. They insulate the economy from recession and help strengthen the country’s economy.
The key qualities of a successful Entrepreneur are:
• Highly Motivated, Energetic and has an inner drive to succeed
• High Risk Bearing Ability and Tolerance level
• Generation of New Creative Ideas and Innovation
• Open minded and prepared to listen and learn from everyone
• Strong Belief in themselves and capacity to bounce back
• Leadership and Strategic Insight
• They are driven by money, recognition, fame or power.
• They are fast decision makers
