that’s more “idea man” than entrepreneur.
“Some people are action-oriented
while others are thought-oriented.
For thought-oriented people, it can
be difficult to switch into the mode
of doing something,” says Art
Markman, professor of psychology
and marketing at The University
of Texas at Austin and author of
Habits of Leadership.
The ability to recognize
personal weakness is key to
successful entrepreneurs.
In addition to being a “doer,”
Markman says traits like risk tolerance, extraversion, and openness to experience are key to the
successful entrepreneur’s person-

lawyer Mee-Jung Jang says she
dreamed up wedding-planning
site Voncierge.com while planning her own big day. “I couldn’t
understand why I could only get
in touch with vendors over the
phone during work hours when I
was used to booking online on my
own time,” she says.
But rather than just griping to
friends about inconvenient florist appointments like other frustrated brides-to-be, Jang quit her

well-paying job,” Jang admits,
“but I’ve always been driven to
follow my interests. I envisioned
a world where planning a wedding
would be easy and decided I would
regret it if I didn’t try.”

often “believe they can see the
future more clearly and desire to
change people’s lives.”
