Need for achievement

This next one can be a blessing and a curse but appears to be an integral part of the successful entrepreneur’s mindset: a need for achievement. If you think of a world in which your goals don’t work out, how do you feel? Do you feel that you’ll find a way to be happy anyways? Or is that outcome not even a possibility your mind will allow for? Successful entrepreneurs tend to land in that second category: they would not be satisfied with a life that did not include great career achievements. Those who are drawn to the entrepreneurial life typically are because they become fed up with the lack of upward mobility available to them in corporate life. They cannot tolerate any sort of limitations on their achievements. A life without great career achievements would be…a failure. This outlook isn’t right or wrong – it depends on the individual. Many people would say their life was a huge success if they managed to be happy, to travel often, and to have fulfilling personal relationships. Great career success doesn’t have to be a part of it for them, and that’s okay, too. But for successful entrepreneurs, that typically isn’t “enough.”
