This one comes hand in hand with team
work there is a difference between a
dictatorship and democratic you don't
want people to think they are being told
what to do all the time and you are just
there to make the numbers up, making
people feel included will result in a
happy workforce and people will want
to work for you and do a better job.
Negoitation
Owning this skill can save
you a lot of money,
especially for new
businesses and trying to
negoitate with suppliers.
With this skill you need to
know the difference with

taking the mick
Networking
It's all about who you know,
being a good networker equals
connections. The people you
meet along the way can aid your
business in the future with future
projects Sometimes it can be
better for someone to owe you a
favour that money,
Confidence
This is also one of the biggest
factors when it comes to being a
good entrepreneur. It does nto
alkways mean when it comes to
meeting people (although this
helps massively) but you have got
to have confidence in yourself and
believe in what you do. If you don't
have confidence and believe in
yourself why would anyone want
to invest and believe in your ideas.
Risk Taking
Be able to take risks is a key skill that all
entrepreneurs need to have. This is what
separates business men from successful
entrepreneurs, it does not always have to
be with money and financial risks,
deciding to run a risky ad campaign to
catch customers eye can make or break a
business, not having this skill can leave
you stuck in the mud and play it safe,

risk can be the difference between
making a living and making millions.

nature for any
entrepreneur having
the confidence and
the skill to sell is the

You are going to fail, more than once. A
good entrepreneur sees how he failed and
works on it and improve they don't just
give up they keep fighting and keep
working towards their goals.
Creative Thinking
You can pay people to be creative for you when it
comes to fashion and hire designers and what not
but being creatve in business is down to you. You
need to have a creative vision for your business and
be creative with your goals. Having this skill will
also have you a lot of money in the long run as you
can do a lot of the work yourself instead of hiring
third parties to do it for you.,
Team Work
Team work makes the dream work. Two minds
are better than one, so when making decisions it's
always good to set up plans as part of a team or
get an outside view. Getting on with the rest of
your workforce is important when running a
happy business, moral will be up if everybody
feels cared for.
