Being a webmaster is a lot like being an entrepreneur. You need to be able to think on your feet, be resourceful and creative, and know how to manage your time wisely.

There are three skills that you'll need to become a successful webmaster:

1. You need to be able to think on your feet. The job of being a webmaster is all about adapting quickly as your customers' needs change or as new technology becomes available. You need to be able to quickly respond to changes in the industry or technical advances if they affect how you manage your site.

2. You need to be resourceful and creative when it comes time for brainstorming about new ideas for projects or products that you could develop for your site's visitors. You don't want them coming up with something that you hadn't considered, so make sure you're ready with good solutions!

3. Last but not least, you need an incredible amount of patience—both when dealing with clients who aren't always happy with what they see on their sites (and vice versa), as well as when working on long projects that will take some time before they're finished!
