Are some individuals “born” entrepreneurs? Maybe, but maybe not. There are business owners out there who have no family role models to emulate who are successful business owners. There are other individuals who come from a long line of entrepreneurs and who are happy being an employee. Whether you’re born into it or take to business ownership naturally, here are some signs you may want to consider to see if you might be an entrepreneur:
- You’re always looking for a way to build a better widget.
- You have confidence and get the job done even if it looks like nothing is going right.
- You have passion to pursue what you love.
- Taking “no” for an answer isn’t in your nature.
- You are a connector and can connect individuals from disparate industries and find synergy.
- You’ve always wanted a commute in which you could wear your bedroom slippers!
- You simply were not a good employee. You know who you are if you fit that description. You were bored. Couldn’t hold a job. Moved from position to position. It was because you had the entrepreneurial spirit and probably didn’t even know it.
If you’re struggling to find your place with your employer, perhaps your place is being your own boss!
