Signs You're Probably an Entrepreneur

Saw this at BizLaunch.ca and WOW did it resonate! Here are 15 signs that you're probably an entrepreneur:

   1. You business is your life and hobby
   2. You often do and then think
   3. You don't like being told what to do
   4. You often have dreams about your business
   5. You constantly find ways to innovate everything
   6. You hate small talk
   7. You don't REALLY read long contracts even though you say you did and recommend people should
   8. You’re very impatient
   9. You hate standing in lines to buy something
  10. You hate meetings
  11. You look forward to Mondays
  12. You have a short attention span
  13. You don't read long emails
  14. You send out short emails and sometimes people think you’re rude
  15. You hate being told you’re wrong

I am an entrepreneur (by anyone's definition) and only two of these aren't applicable to me (#11 and #15). But I'm curious, are there any people out there who don't consider themselves to be entrepreneurs and yet for whom most of these signs apply?

Haha, got it all correct! This is what I like best: you don't like being told what to do. That's me, LOL. In my answers, I do think I'm an entrepreneur at heart. The only thing that is not me is "You hate being told you're wrong." You have to be open to criticism when you are an entrepreneur. It's a way to make things better.

Number 7 cracked me up! You still have to be careful about those "fine print" moments though. Number 15 is something that could even improve how you do your work. There's one thing that's not in the list that some people do: blog about work. Some do take advantage of that by promoting what they sell.

I like the ninth sign the best. That impatience drives an entrepreneur to think up of new ideas that can better the current system - even replace it. But true enough, the last sign should be a motivation to push harder and do better. Well, thanks for sharing a nice list! :)
