Trait #8: Strong communications skills

The ability to write well and speak well is very important to success. That being said, you can "hire" written communication (as in copy writing). You have to be able to communicate well to contractors, employees and others involved in providing for you.

Trait #9: Resourcefulness

Resourcefulness is the ability to solve unique problems in creative ways in which you have no experience. It's a wild card. Think of it as the "MacGyver" factor. Can you solve problems using simple household items? If so, you're resourceful.

Trait #10: Technical knowledge

You have to know what you are doing, or at least be able to learn. Successful entrepreneurs soak up knowledge like a sponge. Especially in the internet business, there is plenty to learn. If you think you can just put up a website and sit back and wait for your millions, you still have some learning to do.

Trait #12: A respectful attitude towards money

Money can't be seen as an end in itself, but as a means for making things happen and accomplishing goals.

So, with all that in mind, it's time for you to sit down and accurately assess your strengths and weaknesses. If there is an area above that you lack, what will you do to overcome that weakness?
