How To Spot Someone With Entrepreneurial Addiction

By Misty Tyler


Many people are familiar with alcohol or drug addiction but not many people are aware that even something as productive as starting up a business can lead to an addiction. This sort of phenomenon is known as entrepreneurial addiction and can actually be quite dangerous. Many researchers say that this condition is real and there are actually symptoms that would lead to it.

Now this condition is one wherein one cannot seem to stop opening up different kinds of businesses without operating the previous one.The harmful thing about this addiction is that the psychological and emotional toll of opening up a business will affect these kinds of people more than other entrepreneurs. The thing that they are after is the rush of opening up a business and that only.

Now a person who has this condition would have multiple start ups during his career. Of course there would be a process that one would have to undergo before one can really start up his own business. So in other words, those who are experiencing this kind of condition are not in it for the money like normal entrepreneurs are but they just love the process.

Now probably the most common symptom of this condition would of course be anxiety. Those who suffer from this would always be anxious and would not want to talk about anything that is not work related. Of course this would lead to them neglecting their family, friends, or even their health for that matter.

Of course they are the type to start a certain project but never has the time and the energy to push through with the project and see it through the end. Now these people are characterized with the ability to think of many new and innovative ideas wherein they would want those ideas to take physical form. It is because of this reason that they would always leave their previous projects hanging to start another.

Another characteristic that these people have would be their very unstable temper. Now they are known to be very moody as they would often throw a fit or a tantrum if things do not go the way that they want it to go. They are actually just like artists who are having an artistic block.

Now the worst symptom that a person addicted to starting up business would have would be their habit of investing and investing without thinking thoroughly. These people have absolutely no qualms about spending money to make their ideas come to life. Even if they are going through financial struggles, they do not mind just pushing in money to make their dream business come true.

So as one can see, there is actually a real condition like this with real symptoms. Now the advantage these people would have would be that they have the best ideas that anyone can have. However, the disadvantage that they have would be that they do not know how to manage what they have made.
