Five Signs You Are Meant to Be an Entrepreneur

Striking out on your own isn't an easy decision.

Sure, some folks make it seem simple-Simon, but the fact is it's scary. It's scary as balls. It's enough to prematurely grey one's hair.

But damn, does it feel so awesome to finally break free.

You see, an entrepreneur has a passion for running their own business or creating their own income without relying on someone else: aka an employer. It's about taking your passions and generating services or products that provide you a livable income and value to your community and industry.

And for many, maybe you, striking out on your own is simply because you're sick and tired of working to build someone else's dream.

So how do you know if you're destined to be an entrepreneur?

Funny you should ask.

Here are the five signs you are meant to be an entrepreneur.

You are uber comfortable flying solo

Most business, especially when you first start out, is lonely and requires you to do most, if not all, of the work.

Not only that, it takes a lot of hustle and grind, which means spending time with friends and loved ones may be more difficult.

Most people will not be as passionate as you are either, and that's just fine.

You value freedom and flexibility

Becoming an entrepreneur means you get to create your own schedule.

But this is only possible if you generate the income streams that can sustain that lifestyle.

For example, suppose you want to be a life coach. In that case, you may need to be available after regular working hours, as many of your perfect clients will generally be working nine to five gigs.

You have confidence and are a creative type

Look, you must have passion for your ideas, skills, and delivering something of value to others.

Besides that, it takes confidence to know you have the skills and knowledge to achieve your goals and achieve your business-building dreams.

You really dislike taking orders from others (like a BOSS)

If you're not the boss, then being an employee means you follow orders.

This requires working when and where your job tells you to. For many, this can mean working during the weekend or working overtime during the week and following any demands the boss asks to keep your job. The truth is, following orders doesn't always have to be a negative thing as this can be structured to many people's lives.

However, suppose you are the type to push away or come up with better ideas often. In that case, it's probably time for you to take the entrepreneurial leap and work for yourself instead.

You aren't afraid of taking a risk

Most business ideas, even the best ones, are risky.

Becoming an entrepreneur means you are willing to step into a world that relies only on yourself and no other person. If taking risks gives you energy and fires you up to do the work, you are a natural-born 'trep (entrepreneur).

The final word

So, if you can say yes to most of the points mentioned above, it's likely that entrepreneurship is your true calling.

It's not all glory and sunshine, but you can make your business dreams a reality with a lot of hard work and dedication.

If you recognize these signs, it is crucial to acknowledge that you won't find the life you are looking for without finally taking the leap to entrepreneurship. These signs prove you thrive on the independence and creativity entrepreneurship can bring- so go out and get it!
