10 Traits Of Successful Home Based Business Entrepreneurs

How To Identify A Great Home Based Business Entrepreneur

No matter what business you’re building, you want to have the best team possible.

Certain people have qualities that make them the best fit for certain fields of work, and you need to identify those traits in order to know who you should be looking for.

So what makes someone a successful home based business entrepreneur?

1. The Successful Home Based Business Entrepreneur Wants To Change His Life

This one’s easy to spot. Ask yourself: is this person focused on problems or on solutions? Don’t look for people that are always acting like things can’t change and like they aren’t in control of their lives. These people argue to justify their failed actions. It’s never their fault, things don’t depend on them, but on others.

Look for dynamic people that want to see how they can solve problems and improve things.

2. The Successful Home Based Business Entrepreneur Is Open Minded

When prospecting you’ll meet various people. Some have the wrong idea of what network marketing really is, but not all are open to taking a real look and really understand it. They’re negative and convinced the business doesn’t work, it’s a scam or it’s a pyramid scheme. Even when you prove them wrong, with solid arguments, they’ll still hold on to their ideas.

The problem with closed minded people is that their mouth is always open. Share on X

Don’t waste your time with these people. It’s absolutely pointless. There is nothing for you to gain by talking to them even for two minutes longer than necessary.

3. The Successful Home Based Business Entrepreneur Has Experienced The Benefits Of The Products

Some of the most successful home based business entrepreneurs rise from the ranks of satisfied customers that have tried the products and have seen their benefits before joining the business. That’s a fact. So don’t hesitate to ask your customers if they’d be open to spread the word on the products they love. You never know where you’re next million dollar earner is hiding!

4. The Successful Home Based Business Entrepreneur Likes To Help Others

This is a business you can’t build alone, by design. The only way to become successful is to help your team members be successful. Remember the words of the great Zig Ziglar:

You can have everything in life you want, if you will just help enough other people get what they want. - Zig Ziglar Share on X

5. The Successful Home Based Business Entrepreneur Establishes Achievable Goals

Sometimes, people get super excited about the potential of our business and they set unrealistic goals. You need to see if you can help them set their expectations right, else when they don’t reach Quadruple Ultra Diamond in 6 months, they’ll be disappointed and quit. Then they’ll say the business doesn’t work and of course it’s their sponsor’s fault because he didn’t help them enough.

The intelligent home based business entrepreneur knows he needs to set easy, short term goals as well, because he knows that by achieving them he’ll end up achieving his more ambitious long term ones.

6. The Successful Home Based Business Entrepreneur Is Always Looking To Improve

Forget about the “I-know-it-all” types of people! They will only cause trouble and waste your time, never doing things the right way because they never want to learn.

The smart home based business entrepreneur doesn’t try to start the business alone. He’s always asking questions, looking for ways to become better at what he does. He knows company meetings and events are crucial to his development so he’s always there. He listens to the others presenting for 10 or even 20 times, in order to learn how to do the presentation himself. He takes part in training workshops, he pays attention, takes notes, he is persistent and he is always informed.

Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines, practiced every day. - Jim Rohn Share on X

The successful home based business entrepreneur learns from his mistakes and does his best to avoid repeating them in the future. He then practices what he learns.

7. The Successful Home Based Business Entrepreneur Is An Achiever

Ask your prospect about his accomplishments so far. Are there any notable ones? Was he capable of achieving long term things like getting a college diploma, completing a project, building a business, etc. If he failed some of his projects, that’s OK, as long as he didn’t get discouraged and continued to try new things. That’s one of the basic traits of great achievers.

8. The Successful Home Based Business Entrepreneur Has A Supportive Family

Building a business takes an investment of time and energy. And when you’re building it part time, that’s time and energy you could be spending with your family. So if your loved ones don’t agree with what you are doing, it can be quite tiresome. You can do it without their support, if that’s what it takes, but it’s way easier with it. So it’s recommended that you take your spouse to a meeting with your sponsor so they can understand why you’re sacrificing and working in your free time.

9. The Successful Home Based Business Entrepreneur Is Able To Deal With Failure

The new entrepreneur is inexperienced so it’s normal that what he does is not perfect and he’s bound to make some mistakes. He has to learn how to deal with rejection and failure. People that get depressed and discouraged whenever they encounter an obstacle won’t get very far in any business since success is all about overcoming obstacles.

Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm. - Winston Churchill Share on X

Teach them to focus on the required daily activities, so that they get their daily routine straight, not on the results of those activities. They will improve over time, as they get better and better. The first few months are about learning more than anything else.

10. The Successful Home Based Business Entrepreneur Is Ready And Willing To Do What It Takes

As most people start their home business as a part-time activity, they need to work it in the evening during weekdays, and the weekends. Success in home based business is about having a clear vision and being consistent. If people aren’t willing to sacrifice, and watching TV or going to a club is more important than building their future and reclaiming time freedom, then it’s impossible for them to build the business and you shouldn’t waste your time trying to work with them.

Keep an eye open for people with these qualities, they’ll be your best distributors and future leaders!
