6 Traits That You Are An Entrepreneur

OXTED, U.K. - Nov. 28, 2013 - PRLog -- No Work Life Balance

1.    You have no work life balance.  No matter how much your friends want you to go out on a weekend or how much you really need sleep; you just have to get it done.  Yes, there is a home but you have an office in it, you are probably constantly answering your phone and you don’t switch off at 5 o’clock on a Friday night.

Your Business Isn’t About You!

2.    Your business isn’t about YOU! Something worthwhile is driving you forward, something you believe in or something in this world you want to change.  Remember Richard Branson set up Virgin Atlantic with one plane, not because he wanted to make money having a fleet of airlines, but because he wanted to create a plane that he would want to fly on. He wanted to create a great place for people to work, and an airline people enjoyed.  He succeeded because people were at the heart of his vision.

You Don’t Have A Day Job

3.    You don’t have a day job.  Your idea or product isn’t a part-time job that you are working on outside your day job, this is something you live and breathe, day and night.

You Are Passionate

You have passion and are resilient.  You don’t let hiccups stop you, and you are passionate about what you do.  If someone questions you, you may listen, but your gut instinct is what you trust most, and if you get knocked down, you get straight back up again.

You Are Not It For Money

5.    You don’t do it for the money.  Your business wasn’t set up to make money; you set it up because you believed in something.  You don’t whine that you don’t have the money, because you are so focused you know the money will follow. Remember when Zuckerberg set up Facebook he didn’t do it for the money; he did it because he wanted to rate the look of fellow classmates. Need I say more?

You Never Ever Quit

6.    You never, ever quit.  If you follow Amanda Kennedy on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/kprmarketing) you will see regular motivational quotes.  My favourite one is about never, ever giving up.  This was put beautifully by Thomas Eddison; he said: ‘I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.’

Most importantly, Entrepreneurs don’t do what everyone else is doing.  They don’t copy, they don’t whine at other people’s successes and they don’t wish they had more money. They don’t follow the status quo but carve their own path. Does this sound like you?
