What separates successful business owners from less successful ones?

- Business Focus: You make decisions based on observed or anticipated effect on profit.
- Confidence: You accurately know yourself and understand others.
- Creative Thinker: You exhibit creativity in taking an existing idea or product and turning it into something better.
- Delegator: You recognize that you cannot do everything and are willing to contemplate a shift in style and control.
