Growing up I had no idea what an ‘entrepreneur’ was, let alone have the thought of becoming one.

However, there are a few behaviors that I've learned about myself that I tend to think align well with the nature of entrepreneurship. Maybe you can relate.

#1 Most entrepreneurs love brainstorming new ideas - so do I. However, equally important, I also like to tinker and test ideas to see how good they really are. I’m the guy that’s always asking for feedback, sending surveys to family and friends, and researching random ideas.

#2 I want to have space and freedom for original thought. I also could never see myself working for anyone:) Although I do think it can be a valuable experience and one I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

#3 I enjoy trying to bring clarity in a world filled with noise. I enjoy trying to understand the psychology behind what drives our day to day behavior, the technologies we use, and how both interact to create value.

Last but not least, I think it’s absolutely fine if you don’t want to become an entrepreneur. There is no right answer, there is just what’s best for you.

I think working for someone or being a #2 or #200 can give you just as much, if not more, success and happiness.

It's more important to be honest with yourself, stick to your strengths, and do what feels natural to you.

At the end of the day, it shouldn’t feel like work, it should feel like play.
