		<description>Of course, Quanta!

1. Moderate Risk Taker - If you want to be an entrepreneur, you have to be willing to take a few risks. For instance, if you get a job, you will be paid an hourly (or salary) rate no matter what happens. If you start a business, it could be years before you start to get paid for your hard work. So starting a business is much riskier than working for someone else.

2. Tolerant of Ambiguity - This means that you don&#039;t have to have all of the information in order to make a decision. Ambiguity just means that things are unclear. When you&#039;re an entrepreneur, you have to make decisions all the time when you don&#039;t know how they&#039;ll end up. For example, I&#039;m writing a book and will implement a marketing plan once it&#039;s published. But I don&#039;t know how well that marketing plan will work.

3. Visionary - &quot;Visionary&quot; just means that you have the ability to plan your business so it&#039;s successful in the future. For instance, I have a very ambitious vision for JuniorBiz and this site is just the beginning. I want to create a whole line of products and eventually franchise a coffee shop brand. That&#039;s as much as I want to say ;)

I hope that helps! Let me know if there&#039;s anything else I can do.</description>

		<description>Hey Nick, thanks for such a wonderful post!!
Under &quot;Other Common Entrepreneurial Traits&quot; there r these 3 points - 
1. Moderate risk taker
2. Tolerant of ambiguity
3. Visionary

Could you give me some example based explanation for these 3 points?</description>

		<description>I think that&#039;s a good idea, Ben! It&#039;s a pretty comprehensive list. I actually found it in one of my entrepreneurship textbooks and I&#039;m glad I added it.

No problem, thanks for the comment!</description>

		<description>There&#039;s some truth to your comment, but if you create a product that people can&#039;t live without, it&#039;s going to sell. For example, if you create a cure for cancer, you&#039;ll be an instant millionaire.

Along with your point, people don&#039;t need the iPhone, but they certainly want it. So it sells.

In most cases, it&#039;s a combination of need and want. Most people need to have a car (arguably), but they buy the car they want.

Thanks for your comment!</description>

		<description>Hey Melvin, you&#039;re absolutely right. Luck is an essential ingredient to a successful venture. But I&#039;m a strong believer that hard working entrepreneurs tend to create their own luck.</description>
