Both hard and soft skills are needed to build a business. While hard skills might vary depending on what you do, soft skills are common to all types of business.
Don’t neglect the key eight soft skills that contribute to your success:
1 SELF-REGULATION:
Managing emotions is vital to handling the ups and downs of entrepreneurship.
2 GROWTH MINDSET:
Belief in your ability to master challenges ahead makes the greatest difference to your bottom line.
3 RESILIENCE:
Intelligence is admirable, but resilience keeps you going when things go wrong.
4 PASSION:
Passion for your work arises from mastery and carries you through those times when quitting would be so much easier.
5 EMPATHY:
Know the difference between understanding another person’s point of view and seeing them only as wrong.
6 CONSCIENTIOUSNESS:
Planning ahead isn’t just good leadership; it’s also a matter of self-respect.
7 OPENNESS TO EXPERIENCE:
An insatiable curiosity about how things work makes you 4x more likely to succeed.
8 SOCIAL SKILLS:
Use psychology and meet people where they are to communicate more effectively.
These skills are more critical to your business than your IQ and one of the best ways to invest in yourself and your business dream.
