Sometimes i am tempted to believe that entrepreneurship is a personality, not a skill that can be learned, because for one, i haven't heard of someone who successfully learned and became an incredible entrepreneur. If it was the case, then almost all of us would be entrepreneurs today. When i was in my first year in campus, i learned entrepreneurship, but i can testify that i haven't become one yet.I went deeper to find out some of the signs that may indicate that one is an entrepreneur. If you look at the life of some of these rich business people, there a certain traits they posses, for instance, either they were fired,labeled rebels in their childhood, or resisted authority e.t.c.People like John D. Rockefeller, Henry Ford or Oprah Winfrey didn't achieve success by possessing certain traits like persistence, persuasiveness, discipline or following advice recommended by management gurus. They were never taught entrepreneurship anywhere, yet today they are doing so well.In this article, i have listed some of the signs that hint you may be an entrepreneur.-Do you keep getting fired? If so, then you might be on your way to becoming an entrepreneur because, as i had earlier told you, they never conform to rules. One of their traits is that they always desire to create something others can be inspired by. They always are in problems with their bosses because they don't obey rules.-A rebel. Were you or are you are rebel? Are you the kind of person that think laws and regulations don't really apply to you? These guys will even defy gravity if they could because they believe success does not reside in the lines of conformity.-Always ready to improve everything. Because entrepreneurs are always ready to improve everything, they are never satisfied being confined in an office, with a boss ordering them around. They are people who always see opportunities to do things better.-Poor rapport. Do you consider small talks as a waste of time and would rather go into business straight away? Well, this is one of their traits. They often feel uncomfortable and would rather be alone.-Unable to unwind, because an idea has shown up in your mind. You can't help to avoid thinking about converting that idea into money. If you find that your ideas are always distracting you from the work you are supposed to do, then you are most likely DNA wired for entrepreneurship.-Obsessive. You can't let go when you start on something. You become too immersed in your project such that no one can persuade you to quit.
