Being an entrepreneur is something that anyone can pursue. But some people are better at it than others. Having the right mindset from the start can save you a lot of time and energy. And there are certain personalities and behaviors that help a lot. At Justin Cobb Leadership Academy, we decided to list the top 10 signs you would be a good entrepreneur.
- You understand that time and money are interchangeable. Your time is worth paying for, and money can save you a lot of time in the right context.
- You’re a bit eccentric. Entrepreneurs think differently, and that’s okay. If everyone thought like an entrepreneur then nobody would do any other job.
- You have an entrepreneurial family. Many of the best entrepreneurs have parents who work for themselves. We learn a lot during childhood and this gives you a headstart on mentality.
- You don’t stop when you fail. The most successful entrepreneurs never give up. They learn and try again.
- You have a support network. The idea of the entrepreneur being independent is not quite right. Good business owners realize that they need support and help. A lot of it.
- You’re a rule-breaker. Entrepreneurs don’t like to follow rules. Breaking rules often leads to innovation and great ideas. It doesn’t endear you to managers in traditional jobs.
- You’re a problem solver. When you find a problem in your life, you start thinking of ways you can fix it straight away.
- You have a ton of skills but can’t seem to keep a job. Entrepreneurs tend to not do well with office politics. Or with following someone else’s ideas.
- Your idea of dressing for work is a t-shirt and jeans. When you have a head full of ideas and plans, sometimes personal appearance doesn’t rate high on your priority list.
- You are full of passion. Good businesses come from passion. Passion is what keeps you working when the money isn’t that great and it feels like a grind.
