An entrepreneur is someone who has the qualities to create, open and manage their own business. It doesn\u2019t seem an easy task but, in fact, the spirit of entrepreneurship is increasingly on the rise in Brazil. According to federal government statistics, about 22 million Brazilians practice some entrepreneurial activity, representing 17% of the population. But what\u2019s the profile of the entrepreneur contractor? What characteristics must he have for the business to succeed? Being an entrepreneur is a question of attitude, it\u2019s the will to make it happen, to innovate. To open their own business contractors should see opportunities where others don\u2019t, be persistent and set targets to achieve their goals. According to the entrepreneurship professor of Empreende, a worldwide organization of consulting firms in the area, Eduardo Vilas Boas, Brazilians are a persistent entrepreneur who doesn\u2019t give up when faced with difficulties and tries again until they succeed, they make it happen. \u201cA true entrepreneur knows how to create something new that will generate a new value for the economy\u201d, he affirms.

Besides this, he also has the humility to listen to everyone, knowing that good ideas can come from anywhere. He\u2019s the kind of person who positively surprises customers and his own staff, with quality and efficiency. According to Bruno Caetano, managing director of the Support Service for Micro and Small Companies of the state of S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 Sebrae \u2013 SP, he has to know how to be daring and take risks in a calculated way, keeping his feet on the ground. \u201cThe successful entrepreneur doesn\u2019t want to be just one more\u201d, he states. But, there\u2019s no need to have a large company, just a small business that is his, enough economically and that makes him happier. Having your own business is to be responsible for your own destiny. For anyone interested in opening their own business, here is a tip from Marcelo Nakagawa, coordinator of the Insper Entrepreneurship Center (CEMP) \u2013 an Institute for Research and Education: constantly seek inspiration to be a good entrepreneur. Enjoy business, go after information of large companies and entrepreneurial people you admire. Read about the subject and study it. Inspiration can come even from the competition \u2013 but not only from it. Read in the next edition of the Refrigeration Club the main procedures and what are the first steps to start a business.
