Yep...that goes along with focus.

One of my bigger problems throughtout the years...still to this day I have to remind myself to just see through what is ahead of me today before I move on.

you know after I posted that and re-read your first statement I kinda realized 'follow through' and 'focus' were/are clear cousins...

2 tools I think are VITAL to ensuring the focus and follow through are handled are:

1) some sort of to-do list (daily/weekly whatever)...be it a work forum, group ware, day planner or some other offline tool....

and

2) your long term overall goal(s) & 'the why's' that go with it/them...

all true.

birth order also can play a role.

the second born is many times more driven than the first born, and subsequent born.

the want to succeed and the will to make it happen

never give up

modelgigtalent · 03-31-2004, 01:30 AM

Without a doubt, someone that does not give up.
To be a successful entrepreneur you need to most likely fail and keep going.

shepherd · 03-31-2004, 06:32 AM

Re-read this thread.. pretty good so far.
I'll add few things.
Ability to understand distribution
Ability to recognize and satisfy a need. The more basic it is, the more potential it has.

slapass · 03-31-2004, 06:40 AM

#1 - perseverance

But to be huge you have to be able to delegate and replicate your effort. So people skills or the ability to hire and fire. Not sure what to call it but it might really be the biggest thing.

I have #1 down and I am not that successful so there is more to it.

eroswebmaster · 03-31-2004, 10:43 AM

Some interesting responses so far...I too think perserverance and the ability to fail but not give up is a great trait.
