Lots of people want to start a business. But not everyone has what it takes.
The proportion of those who merely want to be entrepreneurs will always be higher than that of the few who actually start a business. The simple reason is that not everyone is cut out for the rigors of entrepreneurship.
1. You prefer following orders.
The world is made of followers and leaders. Which one are you?
If you're committed to being a comfortable order-taker the rest of your life, perhaps entrepreneurship is not for you. If, on the other hand, you feel a twitch of desire to make some decisions and give some orders, that may be the spark of entrepreneurship.
2. You prefer working to fulfill someone else's dream.
Businessman, investor and philanthropist Farrah Gray wrote, "Build your own dreams, or someone else will hire you to build theirs." Which do you prefer to do?
3. You don't like hard work.
Entrepreneurship is about hard work. It's about facing indecision, insecurity, instability and borderline insanity.
It's cliche to say "work smart, not hard." But here's the rude reality: You must work smart and hard. Entrepreneurship isn't a bag of smart tricks. It's smart tricks combined withheart-pounding hard work.
4. You get along great with everyone in your life.
Take a quick survey of all your human relationships. Any interpersonal problems? A breakup? A shouting match? An argument?
5. You see everything in the world as being just fine.
Pushing the pessimistic or optimistic dichotomy aside for just a moment, how do you view the world around you? Is everything fine, or are there a few things that could use improving? Your perspective is a marker of your entrepreneurship tendencies.
6. You feel very mainstream. (And you love it.)
Entrepreneurship is counter-cultural, because contemporary society tends to discourage risk taking.
Conclusion
Don't let anything get in your way of living out your dream.
