    What are some common traits of entrepreneurs?

    Entrepreneurs tend to be oxymorons because successful entrepreneurs are often:

    1) confident but humble

    2) aggressive but inclusive

    3) stubborn but open-minded

    4) selfish but generous

    5) likeable but envied upon

    6) focused but adaptable

    7) resilient but pragmatic

    IMHO, entrepreneurs are a special breed of people because they are often creatures of contradictions.

    One must then be confident in playing on his or her strengths and yet be comfortable and accepting of personal weaknesses.
