10. What are the few qualities that motivate an entrepreneur?
Ans. Following are the few qualities that motivate an entrepreneur:
i. Excellence as a standard: An entrepreneur consistently sets high standards and seeks to achieve excellence by
working hard and being innovative.
ii. Uniqueness: One of the most significant characteristics of an entrepreneur is the ability to be unique in everything
he or she does and how it is done.
iii. Concentrate on long-term goals: Long-term goals are those that are out of reach in terms of time. An entrepreneur
is more concerned with what will be accomplished in the distant future than what will be accomplished in the near
future. The individual will plan and work carefully to achieve long-term objectives.
11. Explain why the following qualities are necessary for an entrepreneur:
i. Willingness to take risks.
ii. Ability to make decisions.
Ans. i. Willingness to take risks: There is an element of risk in any business. It means that it is not required for every firm
to make a profit. This discourages people from taking risks and starting their own businesses. An entrepreneur, on
the other hand, always offers to take risks in order to manage a successful firm.
ii. Ability to make decisions: While running a business, an entrepreneur must make a variety of decisions. As a
result, the individual must be capable of making appropriate and timely decisions. Things move at a breakneck
pace in the modern world. If an entrepreneur lacks the ability to make appropriate and timely judgments, he or she
may miss out on an opportunity and incur damages.
