Promoters & Skill profiles - Bill Bonnstetteraa
" Entrepreneurs are a unique group of people, but they behave in patterns ... Reaserach shows that, most serial entrepreneurs display persuasion, leadership, personal accountability, goal orientation and interpersonal skills.
But in the same study, we also discovered a set of skills they DO NOT possess !
We found 4 distinct skills lacking in most serial entrepreneurs, 3 skills statistically significantly and one other , also noticeably lacking.
' Empathy' is one of the qualities entrepreneurs lack the most ! Entrepreneurs build things and solve problems for people, but this is often, however, also tied to the entrepreneur receiving a RETURN for their time and effort, which people with high empathy do not generally expect.
Entrepreneurial-minded people are not proficient in managing themselves and their time. Since entrepreneurs typically have many projects underway at one time, they simply do not have the time to micromanage each. Often, they need assistance managing every day tasks and should hire or DELEGATE them to someone who has mastered this skill.
This leads to another skills , that entrepreneurs lack : planning and organising. Similar to self-management, if entrepreneurs spent time planning and organising every task or meeting, they would never get anything else done !
Entrepreneurs also do no excel about the control group when it comes to analytical problem-solving !
