8. Entrepreneurial Achievers Are Courageous

Courageous people are survivors. They zig when others zag. They say yes when others say no. They think in contrarian terms. They go against conventional wisdom. They set their own agenda and determine their own boundaries.

They also speak candidly. The courageous frequently say aloud what others only think about. It's not always easy or comfortable, but they do it because they have the inner need to "call 'em as they see 'em." We can't learn courage. We probably can't even develop it. Courage is an innate and instinctive application of what we believe is right or fair.
