Some of you are entrepreneurs and you don't even know it today. I'm going to talk with you about five signs that you are a true entrepreneur and if you hit all five of these signs then it's time for you to consider starting your own business ... so let's begin.
- You're Curious
The first sign you're an entrepreneur is that you are curious. You're always looking around the corner of the buildings, you're always asking questions, you're always experimenting with new things or new ideas, you're always thinking about new solutions to new problems and you've always come up with so many ideas every single day. One virtue of curiosity is that it makes you wonder why people do the things they do or why they say the things they say, why things work the way they work. There's so many different ways to think about it but the fact is that when you're curious that means you're trying to solve a problem you're trying to do something and so you have to realize that that curiosity must satisfy within entrepreneurship. A curious person is always wondering that there must be something that they can do to make things better.
For example, a long time ago we had something called the Walkman and it was a cassette player and you know people could have settled for that but the curious person decided, you know what I'm gonna create a CD and then later on people started creating DVDs and now we have the online world and so a curious person is always inventing, always creating because they know that the world can become a better place and if that's you then you might be an entrepreneur.
- You're a Risk Taker
The second sign that you're an entrepreneur is that you are a big risk taker. You're always looking for the homerun play, you're always trying to go for the big touchdown, you're always trying to make it happen because you're willing to go all or nothing. You're willing to take your whole bank account and throw it into your business because you know it will work out no matter what you do. Of course, you're willing to plan diligently and you want to calculate your risk so that you minimize that risk but you always know that if you make a decision and if you believe in that decision you can go all the way with your business. The typical rest taking mentality is someone who knows that they need to make a change and doesn't automatically. If you're someone who's inclined to take risk, it means that you're willing to do whatever it takes to get out of your current situation. That means that even if you have a comfortable job paying you an excellent salary, you're willing to quit today if you really wanted to. If you're in a toxic relationship, you're willing to walk away. If you know you need to lose weight or you need to build up, you're gonna start right today. Now, it doesn't mean that you have an unstable personality, all it means is that you're ready to start right now, you're ready to take on the challenge, you're ready to take the big risk because risk is a new safe, it's the safest way you can go.
One of America's richest men Bill Gates had to all-or-nothing mentality. He knew that he had to give up the silver in order to get the gold. He dropped out of Harvard University to start his company Microsoft and now is a multi billionaire because he took the risk because he decided to take a risk as a young man, billions of people now have access to Microsoft which many people almost everybody use every day now. This is what happens when you decide to take a risk and become an entrepreneur.
- You Disliked Being Managed
The third sign that you are an entrepreneur is that you hate being managed. You hate when people tell you what to do, when to clock in, what to wear, how to act, what to say, how to feel and how to be in your life and because of this, you might just be an entrepreneur. A good way to tell if you hate to be managed is if you were a class clown, maybe you were a little bit rebellious in school and you liked to make people laugh or maybe you were even a C or B student or maybe you're even a D student but whatever it is, you like to rebel you like to move from house to house even work from job to job because you like to try different things, because in your mind you're kind of like a rebel. You know that whatever you do, you're gonna be good at it and so you've tried many different things to see if it will work out. The great thing about this is that it allows you to see many different things, it allows you to really understand yourself because you've gained all these experiences ,it allows you to become a rule breaker because a rule breaker is a game changer and because you've collected all these experiences you can now make a strong decision to become an entrepreneur.
- You Desire a Rich Lifestyle
The fourth sign that you were called to be an entrepreneur is that you desire to live a rich lifestyle. You want to travel, you want to have freedom, you want to be able to go where you want to go, when you want to go and how you plan to get there. Nowadays, when people tell you that I want to become an entrepreneur what they're basically saying is that they want to live a good lifestyle. Now, the result of entrepreneurship is really good, you can make millions of dollars even billions of dollars but there is a lot of work that has to happen before you get there. So before you decide to become an entrepreneur before you decide to live a good lifestyle, realize that entrepreneurship is a risk and you can certainly get that if you're willing to pay the price. Now there's a lot of people that have really big dreams of what it means to become an entrepreneur and even are willing to do the work. You see they're willing to think big, they know that they want their own jet, they know that they want their own sports team, they know that they want their own mansion and they want big parties and they want all fabulous things and they want a first-class experience but of course you've got to remember that if you want to think and act and live on the highest terms, you have to be willing to do the highest and best things in your lifespan.
- You Hate Settling
The fifth and final sign that you are an entrepreneur is that you hate to settle down. You hate when people are so stuck in their jobs and they think they're comfortable and you know you want to make a change, you know you want to make a better country a better world and you're doing whatever it takes because you hate settling, you hate stopping, you hate slowing down, you only want to speed up and if that's you then you are an entrepreneur. If you probably think of a business that you want to start but you always get that nervous feeling, you always want to start, you always want to get moving and even if you don't know where to start, you're always willing to do research and learn exactly what steps needs to be taken in order to reach that level of success.
A great example is one of the famous entrepreneurs like Ray Kroc. Ray Kroc had this vision that McDonald's will be on every single highway in every single town and it would be able to serve billions and billions of people. Now, he knew that the McDonald's brothers weren't willing to take a risk and expand their business and because they wanted to settle down and enjoy their lifestyle he said to himself that I am going to grind it out and make it happen and that's why McDonald's have served billions and billions of people.
If you hate settling for how things are or how people have been thinking and you really want to make a change and you really want to make it happen then you have to act now, you have to make a decision strongly in your heart that you're gonna do whatever it takes to start your own business because you are in charge, you are the boss.
In summary, if these five signs are showing you that you need to become an entrepreneur then today is a day that you need to start your business.
