caesaraba: @OP: Nice post.

However, it seems certain folks on NL can't make comments without insulting someone or using offensive language. If English hard u to speak ehn, no use insult take fill in the blank spaces abeg. It's rather uncanny to gravitate towards mud-slinging as a way of making comments just because you don't have anything of value to contribute to a post. If you see a post that obviously doesn't interest you, abeg simply waka pass.

Don't take out your (misplaced) frustrations on people you've never met. No be everybody come here to come fight. Peace.

bros, dia is need for inhouse coversational control here...kids too plenty! Imagine sumone said she has all the xtics! Na wa ooo

King Solomon I: Almost every article ever written about entrepreneurship suggests that it's not for everyone. And yet the articles go on to list attributes that many successful people possess as the traits commonly associated with great entrepreneurs, such as a strong work ethic, persistence, persuasiveness and discipline.

For 25 years, I have studied entrepreneurs and discovered that what contributed to their incredible success was not what society typically considers assets. People like John D. Rockefeller, Henry Ford and Oprah Winfrey didn't achieve greatness by possessing the traits and following the narrow path recommended by management gurus.

So, don't believe everything others say about you or how they label you. Maybe your supposed liabilities are really your assets. Here are 12 signs many people might consider a liability, but which can actually be indications that you are meant to be an entrepreneur.

1. Hate the Status Quo – It doesn't make sense to you that something has been done the time-honored way with no explanation why. You are not someone who wants to just go through the motions or sit by idly. Nor do you like following the pack.

2. Easily Bored - You find yourself easily bored, and others start viewing you as a problem. But nothing is wrong with you except that you are bored with activities that aren't up to your abilities and aren't challenging. That's why you hated most of the classes you ever attended. Think Bill Gates who dropped out of college to become one of the richest men in the world.


3. Fired from Jobs – You're too creative for your own good when it comes to working for others, and you may have some history, as I do, of losing jobs. Being just a cog in wheel is very difficult for you because you want to create something others can be inspired by and contribute to.

4. Labeled a Rebel - You know that greatness resides outside the lines of conformity and don't think that policies, laws and regulations apply to you. You have been described as a rebel and rule breaker and would defy gravity if you could.

5. Resist Authority - You have a lifelong record of resisting authority from your parents, teachers and bosses. You don't go along with the agreed upon norms of the group or community you work and live in.

6. Ready to Improve Everything - You always see how you could do things better. In addition, you are opinionated and freely give your two-cents about your better way of doing things--even when you're not asked.


7. Bad at Making Small Talk - You have difficulty making the kind of small talk that so many people get comfort from. This social pattern of relationship and rapport building seems like a waste of time to you and makes you uncomfortable.

8. Bullied in Your Youth - You may have been heavily criticized, picked on and even bullied as a child or teenager. This has caused you to be driven to excel and to prove to the world that you are indeed a force to be reckoned with.

9. Obsessive - You may have been labeled obsessive/compulsive because when you get started on something you have difficulty letting go. Don't let anyone convince you that this is a disease or deficiency. All of the great entrepreneurs become completely immersed in their vision. Howard Schultz stuck with Starbucks even when his family tried to persuade him not to.


10. Scared to Go Solo - The entrepreneur in you is scared of going out on your own—and also terrified of not doing so. This fear is so common in our society because we've been conditioned to think that entrepreneurship is much riskier than getting a "good job." The reality is there is instability in both.

11. Unable to Unwind - You can't go to sleep at night because you can't turn your thoughts off. An idea may even manifest itself in your dreams. The next morning you find yourself still consumed with that idea, distracting you from the job you're supposed to be doing.

12. Don't Fit the Norm - You have always been a bit uncomfortable in your own skin. Until you get used to the idea that you are in fact different from most people, it could prove to be a problem--or exactly the motivation you need to acknowledge the entrepreneur screaming to get out.

You perfectly described me. You're an angel cos all those examples explain who I am

King Solomon I: I like the fired from jobs part.... it could also mean: Check yourself man!

He shouldnt check himself. If you lack those qualities, you may not be reckoned with.

Anyi.:

My apologies brother. I realise I took it too far. All I wanted to say was next time just quote a part of it. Udo di. Nwanne ebezina.

one luv man, no offence taken. Truth be told, i still don't know how to quote in parts. Here's a handshake over the miles...

i am glad and as well shocked to read the features above. i am shocked because i never expected it to be that accurate.some will not understand your point because,they dont have creative imagination,as well as powerful mindset to cause change .it is a shame that most people dont know their true talent. they just just live their lives trying to do what they are ordered to do. if messi were an accountant he wouldnt have been as popular.
it is a shame most people dont know their talent.you achieve greatness only when you realize and work towards your destiny.

This is ultimately nice and true at OP.

I wish I can copy this to my website.

Akin-David:
How does this concern Dangote, Otedola, Jimoh Ibrahim and Adenuga eh!!!

Most are fakes but the real ones are still out there who will tell you that you can make it but you have to work your ass out - fail repeatedly but succeed someday.

idupaul: All of U complaining bitterly about the article check yourself , the truth is that you all won't add a single full stop to the ways things done .. Entrepreneurship is diff from managership , the fact we have good jobs doesn't mean we are entrepreneurs . You are nothing but successful employee and I bet you won't be adding anything useful to world except children before U die

LOL. U harsh o

Do you know where you can buy them already? My sister traded in that for 3 months after her final exams and made some cool cash. I can link you up with her.

solidbroda: You are very Stup*d for quoting the entire shi*.
If those are criteria that you are an entrepreneur, then, witches are really following you from ur village.

Must you abuse him for quoting the entire article? Are you ok? What is wrong with you? Must you comment? Little wonder Sigmund Freud attributed fixations in adulthood to the neglect of formative years in children.

Brand_new: This is so me.

Um...exactly how many times hav u bin fired from a job?

lukade: .

this is how a man willing and ready to work for others thinks

Kindly thread the path of wisdom with common sense..Stop being a shallow reader and embrace in-depth assessment. I have made myself clear on the above that being an entrepreneur is more than what is obtained in the article. Dissociate your thinking from their(the names)political entanglement and let me see if you will not come up with something more holistic.

As if U were directing it to me. i will print it out and master it. Thanks

This article gives me some hope.My twenty one year old son has most of the signs listed , he has never worked but be did change school , for five years secondary education he went to four different secondary school but still have his o level after five years .Because of these negatives signs we are always at loggered head, since am always trying to correct him to do what is normally accepted .
