    Entrepreneur's Qualities


    Entrepreneur's Qualities

    Being an entrepreneur involves a mind set that creates the character to set you apart from other's in your field. We declare that these qualities cross over to other realms or settings other than the commercial market:

  • Civic Entrepreneurs bringing these qualities to the government or non-profit world, to actually innovate policy and process.
  • Social Entrepreneurs who are bringing these qualities to make a difference to the environment and our culture.


  • EFNE's Entrepreneurs-in-Residence, featured at our Cafes and Festivals, embody these qualities and produce their successes. You'll find these qualities contagious, but be forewarned; you have to have the guts to take action on them.

    EFNE honors and fosters these qualities in all that we do from Cafes, Festivals, various programs,online discussion groups,and other activities--we celebrate the entrepreurs' character!

    Upcoming Dates:
    Ongoing Submissions!
    Your story or practice will be selected from a pool of candidates, you will be contacted.

    We are looking for a variety of stories and practices from a diverse blend of entrepreneurs.


    Entrepreneurship is a mindset more than anything. We identified six qualities that make an entrepreneur:
    • Dreamer: A big idea of how something can be better and different
    • Innovator: Demonstrate how the idea applied outperforms current practice
    • Passionate: Expressive so the idea creates energy and resonance with others
    • Risk taker:Pursues the dream without all the resources lined up at the start and distributes the risk over a network of capabilities
    • Dogged Committer: Stays with executing the innovation through the peaks and valleys to make it work
    • Continuous Learner:Constantly exploring and evolving to do best practice
