    Adsense Research
    Allwe... is a directory. The domain was created on 10 Jun 2004. The page rank of this site is 5 on 12 Feb 2007. The owner of the site says he used to make $1-$3/day but unfortunately earnings fell down to 0.5/day. It means Google adsense earnings CPC (Click Per Cost) has decrea
    I had an interesting discussion this week with one of my clients. She's been in business for six months and is ready to quit. (I have permission to share her story.)

    She writes,

    "I give up. Starting a business is so much harder than I thought it would be, so much more time-consuming. I was hoping to be making a profit by now! There are so many things to do and I'm totally overwhelmed. People don't seem to want to buy my products and I feel totally rejected. I don't think I have the personality to be self-employed."

    Hmmmm...interesting. Are there really personality traits that separate born-entrepreneurs from people who can't hack it?

    I'd say yes. I've been self-employed in one way or another since 1981. I've known many self-employed people, and have been coaching and consulting them for years. And over the past 25 years, I see a pattern in successful entrepreneurs versus those who pack up and exit their business.

    Here's my must-have list of personality traits for the successfully self-employed (in no particular order):

    1. Tenacity.

    2. Self-worth.

    3. Humor.

    4. Willingness to do the dirty work (the tasks that you hate to do).

    5. Willingness to learn new skills.

    Notice that I didn't list any business skills here. You can always learn the business skills you need, or hire someone to do the work for you who does have the business skills you lack. This list is about who you are and what habits you have. Changing your basic personality style will take effort. That's why #14 is so important: are you willing to do the groundwork, the personality foundational work, to set the stage for your success?

    Naturally, there are some personality traits that are business killers, but that's another story!
