This morning Vada Grantham spoke to us about different traits that successful entrepreneurs posses. Included in these traits were Motivated, Creative, Decisive, and Self-Confident. I think that these traits are not only possessed by entrepreneurs but also by successful business people. As he spoke I began to think about these traits and figuring out if I actually posses what this man thought were the characteristics of an entrepreneur. I thought about the traits that he spoke about in length because I am considering eventually starting my own business in Iowa. I would like to start a chain of Wellness Facilities that are partnered with insurance companies and different area hospitals. The aim of theses facilities would be not at gaining biceps that are bigger than your head, but rather at preventing illness, increasing quality of life, and rehabilitation. Through my deliberation, I decided that I do feel as though I have these strengths and Leadership Iowa University is helping to put me in touch with other people who could help me and my business succeed down the road. I plan on waiting a few years so that I can gain some capital, but definitely plan on pursuing this path. If you have any suggestions or think that you could be a valuable asset in this process, please let me know. |
