4 Signs You Should You Be An Entrepreneur

Are you ready to fire your boss?

Perhaps you should and it just never occurred to you.

The great irony is that many born with the freelancing

spirit become shackled to their 9-to-5 jobs by golden

handcuffs — and never realize their own potential.

To succeed in transitioning from full-timer to entrepreneur,

everyone must work feverishly and make huge sacrifices.

Yet some are more cut out than others to take the plunge.

Are you proactive, fearless, and organized enough to

make a go of it?

Here are four signs that you already have

what it takes to clock out for good and

achieve financial independence.

Sign 1: You are GREAT at networking with total strangers.

Are you connected to people you barely know on Social Media sites? Solid start. Do you communicate with them regularly? Even better. Do you like to talk to absolutely strangers? Well, that merits a gold star.
Social courage isn’t taught in school, but it should be.
It’s absolutely essential for every aspect of successfully starting your own business.
Entrepreneurs who only reach out to people they know — and the connections of those connections — are seriously limiting themselves. Many times there is no traceable path between you and the people you need most and the establishment of a relationship will rest squarely on your shoulders.

Sign 2: You work all the time, but never talk about how it.

People who enjoy what they do don’t feel the need to tell anyone about it. If you plan to shed blood, sweat, and tears to start your own business, you better love it! No one wants to hear you complaining about working through the weekend, they just want to see you doing it.

As an Entrepeneur, you will be working long hours alone, no one willtruly know how long you work or how hard. You will know and you will be rewarded, it may not happen fast but once you are, it will be so worth it because it was ALL YOU!!!

You have to have strong mindset and discipline to hit the pavement hard and keep on hitting it over and over and over again...

Sign 3. You understand your Financial Details

Being your own boss means being your own professional caretaker.

You must have full command over all the pesky details that your company takes care of now. Filling out your weekly time sheets will seem like a breeze when confronted with issues of incorporation, sole proprietorship, finding an accountant or doing it yourself and the tracking of tax-deductible expenses.

If you’re the kind of person who has full command of your compensation and benefit package, you’re more than up to the challenge.

Sign 4. You like to take a lot of vacations.

To the un-entrepreneurial mind, this may sound like a negative. However, taking the time off you need proves you value freedom over money and love new experiences. These are both important qualities in any successful entrepreneur.

With the ability to make your own schedule and work wherever you are, business owners are FREED from the predetermined allotment of vacation time that has become the norm.

If you’ve already broken beyond those bounds, and happily accepted the consequence of a reduced paycheck, then you’ve already begun the transition to working independently.

======================================================================

Make no mistake, becoming your own boss is a promotion. Anyone who has successfully climbed a corporate ladder can tell you, promotions are only granted to people who already proved they can do the job.

Are you qualified to be your own boss? If you fearlessly network, truly enjoy hard work, stay on top of a world of details and value your freedom, then you’re already acting like a successful entrepreneur.

Meaning your leap to freedom won’t be nearly as risky as you think. So what’s stopping you? Your boss’s pink slip is waiting.
