In almost every article and story written about
entrepreneurship, I have found symptoms and traits which are common among all
those who finally made it big.
One of those is that entrepreneurship is not for everyone. I
realised that entrepreneurs have some specific traits which should be closely
observed.
For example, if you are afraid of failures and adventure,
then you should definitely keep out of this.
So, here are nine symptoms that you will definitely find in
an entrepreneur.
Absolute hate for the normal and boring
You just cannot accept the status-quo; you hate the normal
and boring things in life. You often wonder why a particular area can’t be
improved and made more exciting and adventurous.
Bad employee
Just track the job history of any entrepreneur and you will
get an idea. Entrepreneurs are generally bad employees, and this is a bitter
truth.
Bosses can’t easily manage an entrepreneur, and more often
than not, entrepreneurs will quit their job before management decides to fire
them.
Famous as a rebel
More often than not, entrepreneurs are rebellious; they
cannot follow the existing rules and regulations of the society.
You think that these limitations and rules don’t apply to
your domain. Normal human beings follow rules, not entrepreneurs!
Gets bored easily
Steve Jobs dropped out of college because the classes bored
him. Bill Gates was always sleeping in his classes, hence he opted out.
Entrepreneurs get easily bored, which is considered as a problem by others.
The attention span of a typical entrepreneur is very small.
Detests authority
The norms of society don’t apply to you. As a kid, you must
have had problems with your teachers, parents and elders.
Authority is something which you absolutely resist and
detest. Possible explanation? Maybe you consider yourself as an authority and
master of your own destiny.
