10-Have Energy :

You should have a lot of energy. You’ll need enough to quiet the persistent voices of doubt inside your head and enough to overcome the fear that comes with taking big risks. What’s more, the timing of your energy is important. For example, your energy might be off the charts when you’re just out of college and chomping at the bit to get your entrepreneurial career started, but you lack the practical skills, knowledge, and connections to really succeed. It’s a wise idea to get a job in your desired field to see how things are done; if it makes you feel better, consider it an entrepreneurial apprenticeship. Then, once you have some of this valuable experience and are less impulsive in your mindset, take your high energy level and power yourself toward success.
