6 Traits That Make the PERSON Who Runs a Successful Business

We could give you all of the tools, templates, and resources in the world to increase your revenue. 

But if you do not become the person who grows a successful business, you will severely limit its potential. 

The most successful entrepreneurs inside the Virtual Business School are not all at the same revenue level, and they don’t serve the same audience, but they share a set of distinct traits that enable them to break through limits and build sustainable growth. 

Here are six characteristics that separate the 1% entrepreneurs from the rest:  

1. Strong Self-Governance

They’re open to learning and trusting proven strategies, but they also honor their own intuition to tailor approaches to their business.  

2. Flexible & Agile

The best entrepreneurs pivot quickly when plans change. Their ability to reset within minutes keeps them on track.  

3. At Peace With Failure

They view failure as a stepping stone, extracting lessons and recalibrating swiftly.  

4. Innovative

Instead of copying and pasting our templates and strategies, they adapt them with nuance to align with their market, goals, and personal values.  

5. In True Alignment

They create businesses they love – avoiding the trap of building something that feels out of sync with their purpose or passion.  

6. Consistent

They embrace repetition and consistency, knowing that scalable systems and simplicity drive lasting success.  

Every trait ties back to one principle: success comes from showing up, staying grounded, and doing the work – even when it’s hard, even when it’s mundane.  

So, the question is…

Are you building your business like the 1%, or are you stuck chasing quick wins?  

Marinate on that over this long holiday weekend, and let’s come back on Monday ready to close out 2024 STRONG!
