6 Signs Entrepreneurship Is Not Your Thing
A lot of people work hard day and night, but only a few succeed. Ever wonder why? It is because those select few people are smart enough to work hard in the right direction. Some things are meant for you, some things aren't. While we do agree that there is nothing a man cannot do, it always helps to do what you're naturally skilled for and avoid what is in direct contrast to your personality. Before you set out to start your own business, be sure if it the right thing to do. Here are 6 signs that tell you if you're not entrepreneur material.
You Value Your Alone Time A Little Too Much
Having your own start up may not allow you any 'me-time' at all. Forget about connecting with friends over Facebook and posting rants on Twitter, you might not even get time to focus on your own thoughts. If that is too much to sacrifice, entrepreneurship is not really your thing.

If you want to be known for a fancy, lavish office, entrepreneurship may not be the best thing. You may have to make do with a make-shift start up first. The first rule of a start up business is that you do not invest unnecessarily on things that won't gather profits. A grand office comes towards the end on the priority list of entrepreneurship.
You're Too Easy Going
If you cannot even empty your own trash bin in office, you will have a hard time managing your own business. Think about it. Would you enjoy constantly being on your toes? If you're an easy going person, you should rather be looking for a job that is in accordance with your personality.
You Desire A Luxurious Lifestyle
How much did the iPAD you bought help you at work? If you're thinking of starting a business, you'll have to do away with the idea of prioritizing 'nice to have' over 'must have'. Even if your startup is running well, investing on unnecessary things is always a waste of money.
You Believe In Keeping Work And Life Separate
Of course you should. But in the early days of a startup, there will be no distinction between work and life. If the work-life balance conflict disturbs you too much, wait till you take a plunge in entrepreneurship.
You Want It Easy
Nothing comes easy in entrepreneurship. Life will be hard and full of struggles. You won't even have the time to tell people that you've paid your dues enough. Nobody is going to care how hard you've been working. When you start up a business all that matters to your client is the result.
