The term “entrepreneur” has been around for a long time. Becoming <\/em>or being <\/em>one, though, is not something people consciously did up until recently.<\/p>\n

In the past, you might start a business. But today you can be <\/em>the type of person who starts businesses. The difference is subtle yet important. With the fame of people like Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, Arianna Huffington, and others, entrepreneurship has captured the American imagination. People now find themselves looking at founders and evaluating if they themselves have what it takes to be one. If this is you, don’t worry—we’re here to help!<\/p>\n

Here are ten signs you have the characteristics of an entrepreneur. <\/p>\n

1. You are Passionate<\/span><\/h2>\n

Passion is one of if not the<\/em> most important characteristic of an entrepreneur. There are many reasons for this. Mainly, you'll have to work extremely hard to be successful. Without passion, you are likely to burn out and quit before being successful.<\/p>\n

Many people misunderstand the traditional adages about the importance of loving what you do. Yes, enjoying your profession is inherently valuable. But it’s also valuable in that, without passion, excellence is nearly impossible. It is, in other words, so much easier for a founder to create a technology business if he\/she loves technology. And it’s so much easier for a restaurant founder to create a new eatery if he\/she loves food. <\/p>\n

The advantage that comes with passion is enormous. That is why it is so critically important for founders to spend time determining what they truly like and dislike. If you pick something you enjoy, you are much more likely to be successful. <\/p>\n

2. You are Comfortable Working Alone<\/span><\/h2>\n

The image of the entrepreneur is that of a man or woman in a board room surrounded by subordinates, or perhaps, up on stage, giving a product demo like Steve Jobs. The reality, however, is far less glamorous. The majority of work that founders do, especially in the beginning, is done alone and in isolation. <\/p>\n

Being uncomfortable working alone and or in isolation is a very bad quality for potential entrepreneurs. If you constantly need to surround yourself with people you may not be cut out for this. Why? Because starting a business requires plenty of thought and concentration which can only be achieved in the peace and quiet of isolated thinking. That, plus the fact that (especially in the beginning) being a founder means doing loads of time-consuming research, filling out paperwork, creating business plans, and doing other naturally independent types of work. Many of these things are done by yourself when starting a building.<\/p>\n
