People management - Even if you are building rockets and sending to the moon, you need to be able to manage people and coordinate different teams. It is not just enough if you have the necessary expertise but you have to be a people person. You need to build good rapport with customers, clients, peers, vendors, employees and even with the maids who clean your office. With this trait you can crack even the biggest of deals and keep your workers motivated.

Self motivation - If you are aspiring to be an entrepreneur, you need to be ready for times when you are going to be really lonely and all by yourself. You have to be able to get up every day feeling like it is a special day and work with complete dedication. There is no alternative for this. You can read books and inspirational stories to stay motivated. You can also team up with mentors who will motivate you to stay true to your goals and aspirations.

To be an entrepreneur you need to have to courage to face your own fears of failure, poverty, embarrassment and even success. Working on yourself, and inculcating habits that make you strong and stable are vital. The end result - freedom and prosperity - are worth it.
