Entrepreneurship: How do you know if you are meant to be entrepreneur? is this learned or is it a personality? Do you really need to be a psychopath?

Tony Bianco, Big Ideas Guy, Executive and Technology Aficionado answered:

Being an entrepreneur is like being a parent. You're never ready or prepared for it no matter how much you think you are and every person has the ability to be a good parent.

The first thing is to shift your mind in how you think of people and entrepreneurs. Who cares what someone else is, did or was. Being an entrepreneur is about blazing your trail and telling your story. If you compare yourself to others then you're always going to be feeling like you don't add up. Embrace your strengths and your life philosophies and let that be the driving force.

Take a journal out and write out your core beliefs. Here's an example of mine...

1) Money is a measurement of how well I have served my fellow mankind
2) Prosperity without purpose is vanity
3) All people are significant no matter how big or how small they are

Since you care a lot about people, let that be your driver.

ADHD is more of a gift than a problem. You have the ability to see big picture concepts because it's how your brain works. Surround yourself with people who are the opposite of you and choose to never get frustrated when they don't see the picture like you do. Instead get inspired to learn to tell the story of the future you see. Great leaders need great followers. Great leaders inspire people to be great followers. Great followers become great leaders.
