创业者本身就是创业公司的心脏！他们对工作的热情和热情将激励团队的其他成员并推动公司走向成功。
建立一个企业需要大量的时间和精力。充满激情，企业家不惧怕额外的工作量和长时间的工作，并会度过艰难的工作。

企业家的思维方式与其他人不同。他们可以跳出框框思考并发挥他们的全部潜力，建立了一些新的东西，这些东西来自与其他人不同的思维方式。
谦逊
谦虚的企业家倾听客户和同事的反馈，这表明他们尊重他人，珍惜他人的意见。这使他们能够不断学习，提高自己的能力，但最重要的方面是人们会尊重谦虚的人，使他们能够建立人际网络以提供帮助。

THE PERSONALITY TRAITS THAT ENTREPRENEURS MUST HAVE

Entrepreneurship is challenging. Here are five personality traits that you should develop in order to be ready to start and grow your business.

  1. Passion

Entrepreneurs themselves are the heart of the startup company! Their passion and enthusiasm for work will motivate the rest of the team and drive the company to success.

Building a business takes a lot of time and effort. With passion, entrepreneurs are not afraid of the extra workload and long working hours and will see difficult jobs through.

  1. Creativity

Entrepreneurs don’t think in the same way as everyone else. They can think outside the box and perform to their full potential. They build something new, which come from a way of thinking that differs from everyone else’s thinking.

  1. Humility

Humble entrepreneurs listen to feedback from clients and colleagues, which indicate that they respect others and treasure others’ opinions. This allows them to keep on learning, improving their own abilities, but the most important aspect is that people will respect humble people back, allowing them to develop a network of people to help.

  1. Persistence

You will probably make mistake during your entrepreneurial journey. It might make you feel bad but you should learn and improve with each mistake. If you give up too early, you lose the opportunity to learn from your mistakes and you are then just left with failure.

  1. Optimism

Some plans may seem far-fetched, and it might look like getting your business off the ground will never happen. But entrepreneurs don’t think like that. They are optimistic about the future and are always looking ahead.

Now that you’re ready to start your business, visit centreo.hk to learn how to get your business off the ground, or contact us at sales@centreo.hk for any business questions or needs you might have.
