Probably the most important trait or skill needed is "passion." Passion can be defined in several ways - the "I think I can" mindset, being able to bounce back and keep on going, persistence, determination and initiative. These all represent just several ways of stating the fact that that you will persevere in achieving your goals. You will do what it takes to overcome, go around, move, or run over anything that blocks your way. In the case of owning your own business, it means never taking no for an answer, constantly asking more questions, and rarely believing that something "just can not be done. Some people may just call you goal-oriented. Passion must come from within but if you believe in what you are doing, passion often comes right along with it.
A related ability is that of a self-starter. This talent does not mean you may not stopand sit for a moment when knocked down. But you always get back up and keep moving forward. Along with being a self-starter, you need to be a hard worker. Starting your business will require untold hours of work, often at times of the day when you would much rather be relaxing or being with family. You must believe though in the end result thus helping you continue to always move forward. Needless to say that means finding a way to keep your energy level up.
To be a successful business owner, you must be honest and have a great deal of integrity. You must be authentic. You must be a listener.
Obviously you need to have a level of creativity or know who you can tap to get that creative spark. This means being inquisitive, looking at the world in terms of what are the problems people are trying to solve and do you have a solution to offer. This means you can demonstrate problem solving skills.
Entrepreneurs are often said to be calculated risk takers; in reality, they just do the homework before setting out on the journey. You want to maximize your chances of success. To give yourself the best possible chance, you are constantly learning and looking for advice and mentors. Networks are crucial to you as you know what they can offer in achieving your goals.
In terms of learning, you need some background in general management and decision making, accounting, and personnel management. You also may need to take some leadership courses and, of course, an understanding is a must.

Hi :)

I gone try to answer and help yo to best i could!

The most important trait or skill needed is "passion." Passion can be defined in several ways.

Being able to bounce back and keep on going doesn’t forget we all learn from our mistakes.

You will persevere in achieving your goals.

You will do what it takes to overcome, go around or run over anything that blocks your way.

It means never taking no for an answer, constantly asking more questions, and rarely believing that something "just cannot be done”.

Passion must come from inside and if you believe in what you are doing, you always gone be back up and keep moving forward.

Starting your business will require hours of work, you must believe in the result thus helping you continue to always move forward.

To be a successful business owner, you must be honest and have a great deal of integrity.

You must be authentic.
You must be a listener and a learner.
The best characteristics for me are:
Being flexible.
Being able to find new ways to reach your goals.
Being able to communicate.
Having the courage to stand alone.
Tenacity to not succumb to pressure.
The patience to keep fighting until you wins.
The combination of humility and presence.
Having persistence, determination and initiative.

Never forget,

There are essentially three things you must accomplish if you hope to make a successful Business.

The first, you will have to work with your Team to accomplish it.

The second is building and maintaining the team.

The third is developing individuals within the Business.

In order to accomplish this, you must lead by example.

By teaching your Team You can meet the goals you establish, both by example and by coaching.

The more leadership you could develop, the stronger your business will be, and the less you will have to worry about how the business growing.

I hope I answer your question, and if we could do it you could too.

Good Luck!

I believe that there are many characteristics to have in order to be successful, not just in SFI, but in any business that you are over.

I have seen that some of the SFI characteristics are similar to many other businesses. One of the main characteristics that is necessary is patience.

I say patience because once you realize that this is not a "get rich quick scheme," you must be willing to "go the distance."

Second and probably the most crucial characteristic is determination.

Determination is "drive." In EVERY business, in order to be successful you will need something that drives you to becoming a great leader.

There are other characteristics that I will not explain like passion, confidence, wisdom, and many more - for right now, just focus on the first two.

Hi,

SFI offers a lot for nearly anyone.

I said Nearly because in SFI you are building up your own business thus you shouldn't be a coward or too thickheaded.
A coward won't be able to pull through when it's absolutely necessary to get things done fast and reliable. The coward would doubt and maybe think too much, then run away from the best opportunity instead of continuously pushing forward to your goals.
One shouldn't be too thickheaded and accept possibilities and failures. Only if you accept them, you are able to advance. Also, thickheadedness is a communication stopper, but communication is the most important point in a successful business.


The following are the characteristics and some training tips which I learned to be the most useful in any selfstanding business not just for SFI. But as useful they are, if you don't currently possess those, does not mean you're unqualified - you can still train them.

Tolerance: not just with ethnics but also the way others talk and think - we are all part of the same world, and in SFI any encounter might be a businesschance for you!
Courage: to be able to go forward since the path of your own business will always be stony and sometimes even dark from doubt and failure; if you loose yourself, try some meditation techniques to calm down, then find at least one good point and start looking forward and walking again!
Intuition: a good intuition about your communication partner helps greatly to hook them with the right words; the more people you talk to, the easier will be the handling of different types - but beware there will always be surprises ;)
Discipline: there's no boss around that tells you to work harder, you need to do that yourself - it's one of the hardest characteristics to learn or improve, but daily routine, setting own behaviour rules and concentration techniques will help
Charisma: hard to learn too, though if one talks about something (s)he likes others will like to talk tenfold more times about that than about anything else - they will get drawn to you
Perseverance: Never give up and always search for ways to improve! This one can be trained by doing daily tasks and routines, while looking each day at your goals and your reasons for doing this

Core charistic:
Seeking for your path: i don't want to say success here because that may blind you like a damocles sword; but you need to want to move forward, you need to want exactly that path you've chosen - all the others mentioned above will come a lot easier to you then

A really essential skill would be:
Learning receptivity: In business you never can have enough knowledge, there will always be the need for more; make sure you do cognitive training at least 10 minutes a day and also learn how and when to relax so you can take in more knowledge


There might be many more that I forgot, but for me those are the most important points to become successfull and happy with my path. Hope it helped you.
