Abstract
This paper analyzes the entrepreneurial traits of successful
entrepreneurs from both theoretical and empirical perspectives.
Qualitative secondary analysis is used to present metrics for determining
the psychological profile of successful entrepreneurs, specifically
owners of micro-companies. These metrics include the Entrepreneurial
Self-Efficacy Scale, the Entrepreneurial Attitude Scale, and the Entrepreneurial
Competency Model. The psychological profile of successful
entrepreneurs is characterized by key traits such as self-confidence,
perseverance, diligence, and patience, which form the foundation for
achieving business success and maintaining psychological balance.
The primary empirical research in this study examined the psychological
profiles of a sample of 100 entrepreneurs from Northwestern
Croatia. The paper tests five hypotheses regarding entrepreneurial
traits and their impact on entrepreneurial success. The findings indicate
that traits such as personal initiative, creativity, openness to new
ideas, persistence, and a clear business vision significantly contribute
to entrepreneurial success. The results support the hypotheses that
personal initiative, creativity, and persistence are essential for overcoming
challenges and driving innovation in business. Moreover, the
importance of a clear business vision as a motivational factor underscores
the necessity for entrepreneurs to maintain a focused and strategic
approach.
