What makes entrepreneurs different?

Integrity:                 Entrepreneurs stick to their principles even
                           when the going gets tough
Initiative:                Entrepreneurs plan long term -- over a year
                           ahead
Commitment:                Entrepreneurs have a tremendous capacity
                           for gruelling hard work
Drive and determination:   Entrepreneurs are motivated by beating
                           standards of excellence
Directness:                Entrepreneurs do not tolerate poor
                           performance
Confidence:                Entrepreneurs have an infectious self-belief
Self-direction:            Entrepreneurs focus on areas they find
                           exciting and don't dwell on failures
Selling:                   Entrepreneurs use their energy, enthusiasm
                           and vision to persuade and sell to others
Leadership:                Entrepreneurs' leadership skills focus on
                           the ability to spot talent and to inspire
                           others to buy into their vision
