- Wanting to achieve something new always
- Not being too attracted to a 9 – 5
- You like being in control
- You don’t want to take no for an answer
One of the most attractive professional titles these days is entrepreneurship. But what makes it so attractive? What is it about being your own boss that appeals to you the most? And most importantly, do you think that you may be an entrepreneur? If you think you may be but are not sure, or are feeling a little trepidation about taking that leap of faith, here are a few signs that might give you some direction.
You always want to achieve something new
Having a restless spirit that’s never satisfied with “good enough” is one sign that you’d make a great entrepreneur. Being a business owner means continually improving on your success and never resting in your comfort zone. If you love achieving, and if you seem to always possess this natural and inherent hunger to strive for mastery, entrepreneurship might just be for you.
The idea of a 9-5 is a big turn off
There is nothing wrong with a traditional 9 – 5 job. However, if you are somebody who always wants to do something of your own and enjoy your time and versatility while at it, there is a very good chance that you are meant to be an entrepreneur. Additionally, doing a 9-5 could also keep you locked into a specific amount of income each month, whereas being an entrepreneur means that there is no such ceiling, be it financially or in terms of growth. If this is a thought that continuously appeals to you, think whether you would want to take some action on it and branch out on your own.
You want to stay in control
Needing to be in control isn’t always an entirely positive trait. That said, every entrepreneur needs a team to be successful. If you like being in charge and people have an easy time following your vision, you could make a very good entrepreneur. However, on the other hand, also keep in mind that being your own boss means that you should be able to delegate. Nobody can run all parts of their business entirely on their own.
You do not like taking ‘no’ for an answer
Many entrepreneurs have a hard time accepting no as an answer, instead, they view rejection as someone else’s failure to see what a great opportunity life has offered. This mindset is crucial for an entrepreneur because it helps you to keep going when things get difficult. Even if the whole world says no, you should always believe in your idea and try your best not to give up.
The list of signs that you may be designed to become an entrepreneur continue, but these are some very important landmarks that you will find on your way to get there. So, what do you think? Could you possibly be an entrepreneur?
