I like the list. But, I have to be frank with you. You must be specific on how those skills are useful and why are they important.
Keep in mind. Entrepreneurship cannot be taught. It can be learned through experience but not everyone will be able to succeed as an entrepreneur.
Let me point something out.... set goals to work towards what? Be specific.
Also, keep in mind that you must be willing to work harder than the person next to you by putting more creativity on what you put in a business proposal.
You have to back up what you say. What do you think, and why do think that way. Answer those questions everytime you think of a new idea and you will be on your way to financial success.
The ability to set goals and strive for them is extremely important and I did not think of that as a skill needed. I am glad you reminded me on this as this can be one of the most important skills. If you do not have goals to work towards you have the want to slack off or not work as hard as you would with a goal to reach. Also, hiring good employees is also an extremely important skill you need as you can only do so much for your company. You must be able to find the right people to make your business tick. If you have bad employees that can put an end to your business and your dreams.
