You know you're an entrepreneur when...

[chrispalko]

Random thought through my head. I've seen lists like these on other forums and didn't know if anyone (or even I for that matter) could come up with anything clever/humorous for entrepreneurs. (some could be "young entrepreneur" instead of "entrepreneur")

I'll start off I guess.



You know you're an entrepreneur when...you took 4 days off one week..and still put in 40 hours...
(yeah, I count/work weekends)

You know you're an entrepreneur when...9-5 is part time...

You know you're an entrepreneur when...you had to "cut costs", so you broke up with (or fired) your girlfriend/boyfriend/husband/wife...

You know you're a young entrepreneur when...you refer to your room as your "office" and your family as your "colleagues"...

I don't know...I'll come up with some later...but I have to go...

Any more would be really appreciated. It may even end up on a t-shirt and these will definitely end up on my blog (once I get around to updating it).

You know your a young entrepreneur when you start to look around in your classroom and think of ways your classmates can profit you in some way ( not monetary necessarily).

You know your an entrepreneur when eating food or sleeping seems like a chore to you.

You know you're an entrepreneur when your enthusiasm keeps you awake at night and you start to think of ways to profit from insomnia.

+1 to everything mentioned here. I can definitely relate.

You know you're an entrepreneur when...you work 16 hours a day for yourself, so you don't have to work 8 hours a day for someone else...

Well, You'll that you're an entrepreneur when time freezes while you are doing what you feel passionate about. You forget that there's a thing called breakfast, lunch and dinner. And you forget what is sleeping, and you forget that everything else is there.

You will eat, sleep, dream, breathe what you are passionate about. When you walk along the streets, take the subway, or MRT we call it in Singapore, or meeting someone, the words they say, every object you touch, it becomes an inspiration for an idea, or method to bring in more sales, to raise the profits and standards of what you do!

Everything, everyone, every situation becomes an opportunity!

....

When you sell your xbox 360 (even though I swore I would never sell it!)
When you mooch off your parents and live in thier house after 3 years of being in college and on your own.
When your jsut realized that you spent all that money in college.... for parties.
When you buy $2 gronola bar packages to eat instead of going out to lunch
When you are riding your full time job at Vonage until the wheels fall off. Hoping your business picks up before that!
When all your friends are partying and you can't go out becuase you need the money to pay your landlord!

You know you're an Entrepreneur when you sometimes lose sight of evey other thing in your life that has value, and you know it, but you keep pushing because your drive to succeed is too strong and uncontrollable!
