THESE HABITS DISQUALIFY YOU FROM BEING AN ENTREPRENEUR by @kwekudarkwah

In today's world, where economic recession has become the new normal, hardships and unemployment have become the new normal, and even those who are officially employed are not gainfully employed. When I say that the employed are not gainfully employed, it should not sound confusing. I mean, isn't it obvious how most people work but have little or no results? Even with all of their efforts, they are unable to produce any results. This means that their input is never directly proportional to their output. This is a bad trait for both personal and professional development.

In the face of all of these economic fluctuations, entrepreneurial ability becomes a last resort, or precisely what you require to survive. Being an entrepreneur is a fantastic decision because it allows you to be your own boss, manage your time, and implement your ideas. This truth I'm about to share may sound discouraging, but it's necessary. Working for someone else can bind you and limit your options. However, being your own boss allows you to use your IQ and demonstrate your abilities, which will be visible in your outputs and results.

Regardless, it is important to say definitively that certain attitudes can divert your desire to be an entrepreneur. It simply means that you have attitudes that preclude you from being a successful entrepreneur. In other words, if you want to succeed, you must eliminate this entrepreneurship-destroying attitude. As a reminder, being an entrepreneur requires a lot of discipline, effort, and commitment, especially in the early stages. Sometimes you will have to work and work with a lot of energy only to see little or no results- only this is a sign that entrepreneur is not a name for everyone.

It is easier to start a business, but it is more difficult to stay in business. Entrepreneurship requires a different spirit and energy. To thrive in business, you must have such a positive and upbeat attitude. We are not going to make the story beautiful. If you possess the characteristics I'm about to list, entrepreneurship is not for you. But that doesn't mean that if you want to be an entrepreneur, you can't get rid of these attitudes; of course, you can.

You are not considered to be an entrepreneur if you possess the qualities listed below.

1. Lack of discipline

If you lack discipline, you also lack a great deal of entrepreneurial traits. Discipline is important to entrepreneurship. The fact that many people today are unwilling to discipline their bodies or even leave their comfort zones is one issue. You continue to accept less than you deserve because you are so comfortable. You keep taking home peanuts as pay because you don't want to shell out the cash necessary to start your own business from scratch. Results have already shown that 98% of people always stay in their comfort zones, while only 2% do the opposite. These 2% are the true entrepreneurs, which explains why the term "entrepreneur" is not used for everyone.

A 75-year-old millionaire named Bob Proctor claims that all change occurs outside of your comfort zone or beyond what he refers to as the "terror barrier." The terror barrier is the fictitious line at which we usually give up on life's challenges out of fear. While we would have succeeded if we had continued past this point. Being an entrepreneur requires taking calculated risks. Entrepreneurship might not be for you if you have a complete fear of taking any kind of risk or of trying something even though you are afraid.

2. Lack of perseverance

Show me a great entrepreneur, and I'll show you how he persevered and continues to persevere. If you have an insatiable desire for success, you are ready to become an entrepreneur. If you give up at the first sign of failure, you are not ready to be an entrepreneur. To be clear, Rome was never built in a day. The failures you encounter along the way are not true failures; rather, they are stepping stones to success. When quitting is never an option, you are ready to be labeled as an entrepreneur. It will never be rosy from the start of your company. Your small business requires time, perhaps enough time before it can begin to grow. If you are someone who believes in get-rich-quick schemes, then entrepreneurship is not for you.

3. Procrastination.

If you ask me, I would say that scheduling another time to do it is a good way to avoid doing it at all. Who told you that now isn't the best time to solve the problem? The problems are massive, and the more you shift them, the more they pile up to pose greater challenges.

You can't do it if you change the time you're going to do it. You can't be an entrepreneur if you can't be an opportunist.
