Self starters make better entrepreneurs

Look up the definition of a self starter, and you will see it pretty much describes one of the key traits of being an entrepreneur. A self starter is a person who works on or undertakes a project on their own initiative, without needing to be told what to do or to be supervised by others. A self starter motivates themselves to complete key tasks and projects according to set deadlines, and can work well alone. Typical words used to describe a self starter are also those often used to describe entrepreneurs - go-getter, boot-strapper, high-flyer, hustler, opportunist. So, it stands to reason that self starters make better entrepreneurs. They know that if something needs doing, they roll up their sleeves and just get on with the job. They are highly proactive, not waiting for others to give the go-ahead. Instead, they see the opportunity or the project at hand and they formulate the strategy and action plan to get the job done, efficiently and effectively. That’s a self starter - that’s an entrepreneur who turns ideas into reality instead of just talk.
