Attributes Entrepreneurs Should Have

What Are Entrepreneur Attributes?

First Published: Apr 16, 2011 EntrepreneurJourney.com

So you want to be an entrepreneur? Well, do you think you have the attributes that are needed to be an entrepreneur? Well, here are just a few of the attributes you need to make sure you are successful as an entrepreneur.

First of all, you need to be a leader. Leaders are the ones who take charge and make things happen. As a leader, you know how to get things done and that is a useful skill to have when you are an entrepreneur. You will lead your company and you will know the type of people you want around you in order to be successful. According to Robert B. Reich, leadership is the most important quality to have as an entrepreneur. As a leader, you will see opportunities around you and you will know to act upon them. You will be able to solve problems and recognize the solutions before you.

As an entrepreneur, you may be working with someone else at first in a company that you are en employee of. However, as you are a leader you will soon want to get out of that situation and away from your peers so you can stand out. This is where two more attributes come in; risk-taking and extroversion. Extroversion is very important because you need to be out-going so you can win clients and get people over to your company. However, more importantly, you need to be willing to take risks. This is because you will need to take risks to be successful. According to experts, an entrepreneur is a risk-taker because they know how to be innovative, how to increase their efficiency and productivity and how to generate new services that people may not even realize they need.

As an entrepreneur, you will see opportunities before you and you will know how to make them work to your advantage. When others are simply watching the world go by, you will be a person who stops the world so that you can achieve what you want.

There is the belief that men make better entrepreneurs than women but this is false. There have been many studies and they show that men and women both have the same type of attributes that will make them successful as an entrepreneurs. If you believe that as a woman, or as a man, you are not suited to be an entrepreneur then you need to begin to challenge yourself so that you can be a successful entrepreneur.

Of course, just because you do not have these attributes that does not mean you won’t be successful. The important thing is that you know how to challenge yourself to make things happen in your life. If you can do this, then you will be successful. If you can just get out of your comfort zone and challenge yourself, you will be amazed at what you can achieve in your life. All you can do is try and see where you go with it.

Real Estate in Mongolia

Mongolia Real Estate

 

First Published:  Published on: Sep 22, 2013 RealEstateExpedition.com

Mongolia is the world's most sparsely populated country with an area of approximately 604,000 square miles - making it the 19th largest country on earth. Mongolia's emerging economy is highly correlated to its over US$1.3 trillion resource sector and it's no wonder the real estate sector is tied to its recourse wealth.

The property market has experienced rapid development and price appreciation in Mongolia in the past few years. Property prices reached their lowest point in the early '90s. However, a continuous 20 to 30 percent appreciation every year rewarded investors who participated since its lowest point. The property boom has occurred especially in large cities like the capital, Ulaanbaatar. However, some other cities such as Dalanzadgad, Sainshand, and Khan-Bogd have shown strong growth, as these cities are close to mining factories that attract residents from all across Mongolia.

Mongolia has no restrictions for foreign investors buying residential property. There is no requirement for physical presence; however, a valid passport is required. It is advisable to contact a real estate firm familiar with foreign investors in Mongolia to ease the buying process.

Rapid price appreciation in the real estate market in Mongolia is mainly caused by heavy demand but lower supply. High demand is caused by several factors, but an increasing influx of foreign investment and the middle class becoming financially stable enough to buy are considered most important.

No rewards come without risks and the real estate market in Mongolia has its own challenges. Investors need to do their own research before making any decisions, as there may be lack of due diligence, transparency, and accountability in the real estate sector in Mongolia (like any other sectors in a developing country). And also, the unprecedented real estate boom in the real estate market in Mongolia may not last forever as real estate booms due to resource sector growth have turned into bubbles in other parts of the world in the past.
