These 7 Signs Mean You’re An Entrepreneur

Do you have dreams of starting your own business? Are you worried that maybe you don’t have what it takes to succeed as an entrepreneur? Don’t worry, this is a common concern. A lot goes into starting up a business and the sad fact is that not everyone is cut out for the entrepreneurial life. But, that doesn’t mean your dreams are a lost cause. You might be more of an entrepreneur than you realise!

 Here are seven traits that set entrepreneurs apart from everyone else. If this list sounds like you, then chances are you’re destined for entrepreneurial greatness

You’ve Always Got Something In The Works

Are you always cooking up ideas for new business ventures? Do you find yourself trying to solve the world’s problems while you’re in the shower? Sounds like you’re meant to be an entrepreneur!

People with an entrepreneurial mind always have something in the works. They’re professional idea generators. When a problem arises, they’re the first to think up a solution. At any given moment, they’re looking for opportunities to turn a profit. Sure, not all of

their ideas will be winners. But, when you have so many, there’s bound to be a few successful ones.   

You’re Not Satisfied With The Status Quo 

You know you have the entrepreneurial spirit when you’re not afraid to think outside the box.  

Entrepreneurs regularly question the status quo. They not only try to solve the problems of the world but also look for new and innovative ways to change it. Whether that means inventing something unique and novel or simply coming up with better ways to serve the market, entrepreneurs believe that there is always something to improve upon and are eager to put all their energy into making those improvements.     

You Don’t Give Up

What do Richard Branson, Oprah Winfrey, and Bill Gates all have in common? Each entrepreneur failed spectacularly before they became successful!

Failure is an inevitable part of the business. You will fail more times than you will succeed. But, the hallmark of any successful entrepreneur is their tenacity to never give up. So, if you’re someone who sees failure as an opportunity to learn and grow –rather than an insurmountable defeat– then it sounds like you’re well on your way to becoming a successful entrepreneur.  

You’re Curious

Another trait that sets entrepreneurs apart from everyone else is their innate curiosity. Entrepreneurs take it upon themselves to learn about the world around them. In fact, they’re so eager to learn that they leap at any chance to acquire new skills and knowledge. It is this curiosity and passion that allows them to jump on new opportunities for business success.   

Do you listen to start-up podcasts, read business blogs, or scour your newsfeed for the latest business trends, voraciously consuming as much information as you can? Even if you don’t have the skills to start up a business right now, this innate curiosity will be invaluable when you finally decide to take the leap and begin your entrepreneurial endeavours. 

You Take Initiative  

One of the most important qualities that allow entrepreneurs to pursue their dreams is their ability to take action. To be an entrepreneur, you have to be a go-getter, going above and beyond to turn your ideas into actions and your actions into successes. It’s hard work. But successful entrepreneurs are always willing to get their hands dirty when they need to.

You Crave Freedom  

Are you tired of your traditional 9 to 5 job? Would you rather work for yourself and decide your own destiny? This is the exact thought-pattern of an entrepreneur. Because they’re so hardworking, entrepreneurs tend to put in a full effort at their full-time job. However, their true passion lies in their side hustle. If you’re more interested in achieving creative freedom than getting a steady paycheck, then you can be sure that you’re an entrepreneur at heart.    

You Can See The Bigger Picture (As Well As The Details)

As a budding entrepreneur, you should not only have the ability to visualise your success but also visualise each step on the path to that success. It’s a rare gift being able to see the big picture, without losing sight of the small details. But, if you’re able to shift focus between long-term dreams and short-term actions, then you should take that as a sign of your inner entrepreneurial spirit.
