A good friend has approached you saying that she has a business idea for a social enterprise.
She has already drawn up a business plan and believes that this business will be highly
successful. She is only unsure about one thing: “Do I really have what it takes to be a successful
entrepreneur? I have looked into some textbooks, but they only talk about leaders and not
entrepreneurs. I believe the required qualities of leaders and entrepreneurs may not be the same.”

entrepreneurs. Discuss which personality characteristics are important for being a successful
entrepreneur.
