In the beginning, God CREATED. God is the first and the biggest entrepreneur ever known to man. God brought something out of nothing, Heb. 11:3. What are the raw materials with which God created His final product (The earth)? God wants us to be co-creators with Him. Gen 1:27. Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, e.t.c did not exist 20years ago, it was the ingenuity of God that made Him breath on individuals to create solutions to world problems and products that make life easy for all. There is nothing you see around that wasn't created by man and it was created through the inspiration of the spirit of God. It is the quality of problems that you are able to profer solutions to that determines the level of the wealth you will command.
Qualities of Entrepreneurs
Risk takers: If you want to truly become wealthy, there are some calculated risks that you can't afford not to take. 2nd Kings 7:4-8. The reason why people don't progress in business is simply because they are scared of the unknown. What you are afraid of is an indication of what you ought to do. Fear prevents people from taking the bold step that God has destined to take them to the next level. Fear breeds inaction. There is no man in the world that has ever been successful without having moved towards the things they dread the most. You've got to move. Joyce meyer said "Fear may be in your head, as far as there is faith in your heart, move in the direction of your fear". Fear paralizes initiatives. Life in itself is a risk, but not taking risks is the biggest risk in life. Don't stay there on the cliff afraid of jumping, jump anyway, on the way, you will grow wings.
Innovative & Creative: As an entrepreneur you need the ability to create and innovate. Zig Ziggler said "Doing the same thing the same way and expecting a different result is one of the definitions of insanity". A creative entrepreneur challenges the status quo. A creative entrepreneur is a non-conformist. Prov 8:12.
Persistence: Enduring capacity, an ability not to be tired. Keep at it, it's about to get better.
Integrity: Integrity can advertise you more than packaging can do.
Leadership ability: This is the key secret that can change your organization for the better. It is better to develop on others and build structures. You need structures to develop your organization.
