The word entrepreneur (entrepreneur), originating from French, is used to describe a person who has, above all, the need to do new things. Management concepts are usually associated with organizations, unlike the concept of entrepreneurship, which is always associated with person who makes it happen.
Although, doing "new things" is not simple.and that happens every day, as it requires some features that need to be developed through the search for knowledge, that is, studying a lot about the subject and exchanging information to validate the ideas. Let's introduce some points that we believe are fundamental for the growth of young entrepreneurship.
5 key characteristics for young entrepreneurs
1. Perception for Opportunities
An entrepreneur needs to have a sharp perception and observe scarce resources in your region, that are not being properly explored or even that have not been the target of anyone's attention. In this way it creates a good source of business opportunity. Creating the new is understanding what already exists and what can be improved.

2. Commitment
To create your new business, it's important to be responsible and fully committed with your ideals, it is necessary to believe that your company will be very successful, so make personal sacrifice or extraordinary effort to complete a task; keeping customers happy and putting long-term customer retention above short-term profit are key to achieving this profile.
Do not stop now... There's more after the advertising ;)
3. information search
No one in the world has all the information or has the ultimate knowledge, so studying and sharing ideas is a necessity.. Entrepreneurs chase how to manufacture a product or provide a service; consult experts for technical or commercial advice, investigate information about customers, suppliers and competitors. They also attend events and courses to improve their intellectual potential andnetworking.
4. set goals
To define Thewhere we want to go within a period of time it can clearly show whether we are going in the right direction. All entrepreneurs have long-term goals, usually the most complex and personally meaningful dreams, but setting the short-term goals facilitate correction of the long path or changes necessary for product development or service. It's important to be objective to succeed.

5. make good decisions
Any business model requires decision-making, from the moment the idea is born to the first registered customers. Choosing what should be done brings several risks, but it needs to happen for the creation of the "new things".
A study carried out on the decision-making process concluded that entrepreneurs decide based on expectations rather than real facts. This factor explains why the entrepreneur decides to create a company or a technological innovation where it is often difficult to define the market and make reasonable sales estimates. So you can be young, choose a path different from everyone else and still get it right.
