7 Signs that You May be an Entrepreneur
Are you an entrepreneur?
Today I am going to show you 7 signs that may mean you are an entrepreneur.
1 – You love creating things.
You enjoy the creation and building process and can think of numerous ways to combine existing things and create something new and exciting.
2 – You have a huge ego
You think that you could do better than your boss, in fact, you know you could do better. Having an ego is not a bad thing in the world of entrepreneurs, you are confident in your abilities and you are not afraid to show it.
3 – You are a dreamer
You are supposed to be working on some accounts, but instead you are dreaming of business ideas and investment opportunities in the future. Part of you always feels like it is in the future, and that excites you.
4 – Opportunity is everywhere
You see opportunities in every day life. In stores, on television, in the news etc… everything for you is an opportunity.
5 – You are passionate
Everyone else seems to live to work, but you don’t. You are passionate about what you do, you enjoy it, and it makes you feel good. You can easily work on a new project until the late hours of the morning. Without passion, you don’t feel as alive.
6 – You are a control freak
You almost always believe that you could do it better, even when you are paying someone to do it for you. You like to be in control, you like to make the decisions, and you like to answer only to yourself.
7 – You like strategy
You like to dream, but you do so with an element of strategy. Everything is like a game or puzzle to you, from office politics to business success. You have an eye for strategic manoeuvres, and nothing is going to beat you.
Summary
How many of the above apply to you? If you can relate to 4 or more, you may just be the next big entrepreneur.

All classic signs. I think everyone reading this is an entrepreneur to some extent. The level of success will vary but who else would be interested in this style of blog.

Great list, and very motivating. Good thing they are not all required, there is no way I fit the Big ego bill. But love to create, and be a strategist.

Yup that's me in a nutshell. Good to know that it is my ego that makes my past bosses complete idiots and not the fact that they were idiots :)
