2. Commitment to work contract
    An entrepreneur always delivers his promise promptly. He values his reputation for dependability and will do everything not to back out on a commitment.
3. Persistence
    An entrep. doesn't let setbacks lead to failure. He is committed to his  goal that he finds ways to overcome obstacles and accomplish his tasks he set for himself.

4. Willingness to Take Risks 
    An entrep. knows that business involves taking risks. It is when one takes his chances with a new venture the better products and services are discovered.
5. Demand for efficiency and quality
    A true entrep. doesn't settle for anything but the best. He also insists that items of excellent quality be done at the soonest time possible. This increases his productivity and sets him apart from the competition.

6. Goal Setting
    Setting goals gives the entrepreneur  a  sense of purpose. It inspires him to make definite plans and to follow those plans with concrete action.
